I have been crafting with a vengeance lately. Although I’ve obviously always enjoyed making things. I’ve been on a different level the last six months. When I get teased about it I explain that someday when I am super duper old, I will encounter a troubled young person.
“Hey, Youth. I know that you think it is impossible that anyone has ever felt as sad, broken, and hopeless as you do right now. But trust me. I’ve been there. And I couldn’t fix it. I just had to make it through the days. And then eventually I felt differently, But unfortunately, my health didn’t allow me to drink, fornicate, or exercise vigorously. So I made stuff”
I kept seeing Woobles on Instagram. And I am ready to confess an interesting shortcoming…I am very bad at crochet. I’m an expert knitter. My hobbies are chess, embroidery, hobby engineering, and reading big fat books. But I couldn’t really crochet.
I learned when I was a kid. And somehow the knowledge fell out of my brain. Oh well…I don’t have to know how to do everything. But…ummm…I need to know how to do most things. So I bought a couple Woobles kits.
I recommend WOOBLES!!!!!
The instructions are step by step. There is no assumed knowledge in the how-to videos,
The materials are quality and reasonably priced,
The kits are cute and playful.
The time commitment is 8 hours maximum per Wooble.
The woman who demos the projects has a seriously soothing voice. And the final step is to direct you back to the website so you can buy another kit. And I fell for it. Good marketing of a good product must be rewarded.
I doubt I’ll become as passionate about crochet as I am about knitting. But I was having a hard week and feeling a bit down, and making these Woobles lifted my mood and focused my mind.
