Was 2017 a good year for crafts?

Dear users, dear authors,
2017 isn’t over yet—we still have the whole month of December to go. However, since December is usually dominated by Christmas preparations, I’m starting this discussion now so you can answer this question or discuss it before the Advent season takes up too much of your time.

Are you satisfied with 2017?
Were you able to carve out enough time for crafts?
Let me know.

I’ve definitely done more this year than in 2016. Let’s see how 2018 turns out. Right now, I’m a bit out of steam, but I always feel that way after finishing a project. I just need to take some time to reflect.

Otherwise, there could always be more time for crocheting, but it’s really limited to evenings after work and weekends. My main problem is my constant tiredness, and I always end up choosing sleep over crocheting, hehehe.

I’m really looking forward to the Advent season and Christmas; there’ll be time for crocheting here and there then, too. And of course, I’m asking Santa for looooots of yarn ;-)

I hope 2018 will be better.

I have more than enough time for crafts—that’s not the problem.
It’s more a matter of not having enough hands.

Hi,

well, I thought 2017 was—and still is—a good year for crocheting.

I’ve done a lot of crocheting. Not everything I had planned, but
I also made things that weren’t on my list—things
I just felt like making on the spur of the moment.

Unfortunately, my list for 2018 is getting longer and longer.

Best regards, Heike

I thought—and still think—2017 was great. I tried out some new yarns and was really surprised. I got a lot more done than I thought I would and was able to fulfill pretty much all the big and small wishes of the young and old in my circle of friends.

I never have enough time for crafts, no matter how much time I have. I just have too many ideas. But I’d rather have it that way than be totally out of ideas and have a lot of time. Although that wouldn’t happen to me with CP anyway.

For me, it was a very good year in terms of crafts. I only started crocheting in the summer of 2017. There are reeally a lot of years between my knitting binges and my current crochet craze

Actually, I thought I wouldn’t find any time for crocheting because I’m so busy building a house.

Of course, I still managed to find time here and there and got more done than I’d hoped.

Now the year is drawing to a close, and I wish I had sooo much more time until Christmas.
Somehow, you can never have enough time, and time always flies by when you’re doing something you enjoy :)
