Creative Inspiration
As crocheters (and knitters), we are creative people. No matter what the skill level, we use yarn and other materials as an outlet of ourselves. On my Twitter & FaceBook, I posted this question:
For me, it’s a variety of things. I love looking at books and magazines for ideas. Sometimes, I’ll crochet a pattern straight the way it was written; other times, I change it up, and still other times, I make something totally different than the pattern every intended. With non-yarn-related publications, I see things and think about crocheting up a different version. Nature sometimes impacts my creativity, too. I think mostly for me, it’s other people, though, and the things that they come up with that encourages me to think outside the box and venture out on my own. And let’s not forget about color. I don’t know as much about it as I would like to, but I do know it impacts my creativity at various times. My button tin also inspires me. It’s fun to go through them and make them into something pretty. However, admittedly, for me that’s not always that easy. I’m very selective and stingy with the things. I could probably create a whole lot more if I wasn’t.
