Hello Hive
Every new skill we acquire is an investment on ourselves, you never can tell how that one day which skill or passion will bring you the most fortune.
Pleasant Afternoon to my beloved friends and passionate bloggers onchain. Hope our day is cooperating and we are having the best of time.
My own day in particular has been really refreshing and restful. Since from the morning I haven't had a cause to stress myself so much unlike others days with tighter schedules. I have woken up to have some breakfast, carry out my daily activities in the garden and them catch up with the social tasks onchain before we were then intercepted with a downpour that has now made everyone to stay stuck to their rooms.
The timing of the rain interrupted my going to work in the main farm and fair enough I gave myself a few hours sleep during this Afternoon since I barely get enough sleep at night.
Having rested well I woke up feeling refreshed and thought about what to do for the remaining part of today.
Guess what popup in my head

Yes you heard me right crocheting.
Let me open up this chapter.
It is very difficult to stay on hive Blockchain and not get inspired to either pick up a new skill, career or vision. So long as you are on the Blockchain the passion for something must rob on you.
My late mum has been one of the best knitter's among women. She never had the need to worry about what sweaters, socks or shawl her babies will use whenever she gets pregnant.
Before her expected date of delivery comes she would have used her knitting pin to knit all kinds of colorful sweaters, baby caps, shawl and socks. We didn't have to bother about table clothes or any of the useful kitchen items. My mum got the house covered in those. I hope that I can be able to try something at least.
It was a beautiful craft and admirable. As a little girl I equally handled the knitting pin as well but all of that skill soon died up when we grew up to be interrupted with the challenges of life. Alot was lost on the way to adulthood, times and season equally changed abd a lot of women dropped that passion when there are lots of ready to wear clothes in the market.
After all these years I was really surprised to see that the passion had resurfaced again and just like I have heard before that there is nothing new under the heavens, everything goes round and round again and again. Old fashion can resurface again even if it comes with modern touch.
It is difficult to see all the creative work of fellow hivers using crochet and you don't get inspired. All of those lovely projects draws my attention on a daily basis and I often wish that someday I will be able crochet a beanie for myself, a sweatshirt and any of those colorful things.
This crochet store has recently opened right here in the city where I live and I didn't have to travel a long distance to purchase yarns
Without waste of time I made my enquiries about crochet pins and what I would need for a start, the colorful yarns are all a beauty to behold will pull the attention of any crocheter.
I bought some baby wool and hook here. This pack of crochet hook is sold for $5HBD here
I can't afford to purchase this for now hence I bought this two tiny pieces used for baby wool size. It was sold for $1
There were so so many colors I was confused about what to pick, I can bet you that my selection wasn't based on which color of yarn will go with which, I only selected my favorite colors and don't know if their combinations will be good to make anything at all.
The beauty here was overwhelming everything was attractive and calling my attention.
I learnt about about yarn from the cheapest one which I have bought here for 5 pieces $2HBD here to the most expensive ones sold for $2 per one.
There are also the other special type of yarns used for making bags and other crafts
@abenad come and see this. I have finally jumped on the train and really hope I can make use of your assistance. I have been engaged with a whole lot of things at the beginning of the year which has pushed this goal to this time.
It feels good to finally take this step and I hope to get all the support and encouragements I need. We can acquire any skill if we have the love and passion for it and I hope that all will go well with my new found adventure.
Hive is a beautiful place to be, it has exposed me to new and supportive friends, passion, zeal and skill. I am grateful for this connection that is changing my life in everyway and giving me the opportunity to invest in myself.
