I only picked up crocheting less than a year ago, but I feel like I’ve made decent progress already. I’m not an expert, don’t get me wrong – but I went from having no clue how to even read the patterns, to being able to follow instructions and even solve minor unexpected issues. So for Valentine’s Day this year, I picked up an assorted set for making crocheted coasters with a heart design. The box said it required ‘intermediate’ crochet skills, but that didn’t scare me off! I love a seasonal DIY project, and enjoyed working on these coasters.
