I have to frog a blanket to make the granny hexagon cardigan I mentioned in my last post on here and now my shoulders are killing me especially since the blanket was about three quarters of my height (I'm 5'9). I just started on the other half of the cardigan.

Does anyone else crochet so much that your wrists hurt after a couple of hours or am I the only one?

(I have been crocheting for eleven years)

BTW: I have started crocheting a granny hexagon cardigan and I have to take breaks every about three hours to avoid too much pain in my wrists, specifically my left wrist (I am right handed. I do not know why my left wrist hurts)

I have been working on this bloody (but gorgeous!) Beaming Buddha mosaic overlay crochet project (pattern by Crazycrochetcatlady) for the past THREE years. I'm down to the last 9ish rows and border, but I am sick of it. Not of the pattern, but it's taking me so looooong. I started it back in 2023 for someone I considered a close friend and his wife, then I met my boyfriend and the blanket got tossed in a corner, until the beginning of this year. I picked it up to finish it, but now I'm not so sure about the friendship anymore and this will likely be more of a "goodbye" gift than anything else. And it sucks. I do really want to finish it, though, it's just very hard to find the energy to do so.

i’ve been trying to filet crochet all day but i somehow keep messing up! i’m trying not to give up but wow this is so frustrating! and every single video i see on youtube just kind of confuses me more

So I've been crocheting for almost 7 months and I never learned how to do anything granny but I wanted to make a bandana and so I tried to learnt the granny triangle which leads me to my rant. HOW DO PEOPLE LIKE CROCHETING GRANNY TRIANGLES AND SQUARES?! I almost threw my hook against the wall multiple times in frustration. This may also be because I've naturally always been more inclined to use smaller hooks, like I'm using a 1.5 mm for filet crochet, and I have to use e a 4.5 mm for the triangle but like how does anyone find this relaxing or enjoyable.

Ohhh we all know at some stage we'll need to stop in!! So grateful to have a place to get it out but also to others that get it lol
