My biggest crocheting challenge is learning how to hold the yarn in my hands. I am a senior and just learning to crochet for fun. I did try years ago and was frustrated then too. I know to most people this sounds funny, but for some reason I can’t get the hang of holding the yarn like videos or books show. I have not given up though. I did finish a crocheted hat and scarf for a 18" doll.

My biggest sewing challenge is deciding on the “perfect” pattern, the “perfect” fabric, the “perfect” trims, the “perfect” props, and then, the “perfect” photo. Striving toward the “perfect” outfit is a hindrance to sewing. This year, I hope to “Do my best” instead of aiming toward perfect. I hope to find more delight in the process.
And, BTW, Koski’s “Galactic Pilot” pattern is a great pattern! I had so much fun making the accessories, and the uniform is perfect for Luciana.
