There's this Malay saying that means, warm like chicken shit. So crass, hor? It means, you have a desire to do something but, this desire lasts only a short while. And you end up either abandoning it mid-way or not doing it at all. (It describes a lot of my 'projects' perfectly.)
Ever since I saw my mom's crocheted tablecloth and not able to find it (for sale) anywhere, I've been thinking of crocheting or knitting. With my newfound skill, I can also knit cute little hats for Huda and even knit hats for the preemies at KK! So exciting!
This is insane because my mother tried teaching me crochet before but I was just too inept at needlework to form anything decent.
So, now, with a tablecloth in mind as an end-product, I am seriously thinking of starting to crochet again.
I then went on to do a bit of research (looking at online forums of avid needlework fans) which sent shivers down my spine - skein, 4mm hooks, 8mm hooks, threads of varying thickness...So many things to consider! Where do I begin?
Reality then hits home. I shall just wait it out - see when all these desires will end.
