Hey @glenalbrethsen! Thank you for dropping by :) Yah, I did not say how long exactly because I did not work on it continuously non-stop. I think if I were to do that, I can probably complete it within a few hours. But I only spend maybe half hour or an hour or so each time and not everyday. So, it kinda took about a few weeks :D
Ah yes, my first completed project when I first started to take up crocheting seriously was a beret hat. At first I thought blankets or afghans would be easier but I never seem to complete one haha. So, I challenged myself, watched a youtube video of a simple beret project, followed it step by step and I actually completed it in a few days! It was such a satisfying feeling to be able to complete a wearable. You really should give this a try. It is very therapeutic. Start with the youtube. Search for a simple crochet beanie tutorial or something like that. There are tons to choose from :) And then, once you start, you can join us on Mondays at #needleworkmonday :) It doesn't have to be a completed project. As long as you think about it, start something or halfway, you can share it with us :)
