What's interesting about crochet is that it can't be mass made. There is something called a crochet machine but it is the same thing as a knitting machine. If you want something with that special handmade crochet look, it has to be done by hand. So if you ever see anything in the store that looks like it was crocheted by hand then it was! This means that someone actually had to put time and effort into it. Pretty amazing considering how many things are mass made by machines these days! This goes for anything else handmade too. Think of the love and care that went into something made by a real person. It's not just crochet or knitting. It can be baking, woodworking, pottery, metalworking, and so on. I see a lot of people who do not like their jobs and are pretty miserable and it makes me very sad. That is why we all need hobbies. But if you think about it, things that we consider hobbies and creative outlets used to be a way of life. Maybe that is why so many people are unhappy. They can't do what they love because machines have taken over. Not only that but people who do craft have to compete with them! So be sure to show your fellow crafters some encouragement when you can! Crafting is not easy, but it is worth it. And so I will leave you with a little demonstration. =) P.S. This was an original hat pattern created by me. So expect to see it in my store starting in April!
