It’s about the journey, not the blanket
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Videos: Getty The first time I tried to crochet, I was 10 years old. It went exactly as you’d expect: I couldn’t make sense of the instructional booklet that came with my purple yarn and matching purple crochet hook, and I abandoned my new hobby almost as quickly as I began it. No matter the hobby — making jewelry, playing the guitar, knitting — I’ve never stuck with one long enough to get good. Then, just my luck, crocheting became a thing.
Like all good crafty endeavors, I started in the aisles at Michael’s, meditating on the right color yarn and appropriate amount for a beginner who may abandon the whole thing in a few weeks’ time. I settled on two multicolor rolls of yarn and a pack of crochet hooks. As I was checking out, the cashier asked if I wanted to join their rewards program. “Yes!” I replied enthusiastically. I’m a crocheter now.
Nonetheless, I was part of the crochet internet now, which encouraged me to keep going. I saw other 20-somethings on TikTok proudly sharing the cozy cardigans, abstract dresses, and animal figurines they made. I laughed at suddenly relatable crochet memes. And, across videos, I stumbled upon my favorite recurring crochet inside joke of all: crocheters sharing the terrible first projects they made as though it was a rite of passage.
