I am totally a lazy bum, a procrastionater, a do it when you feel like it type person. Not all the time, but 85% of the time. ;) So, I rarely set a time aside for crocheting. I'll take a project along in the car, if I feel like it. I'll work on it while I'm sitting around watching t.v. and playing with Autumn, if I feel like it. But I don't have a "schedule". I'm wondering if that's the reason I've never finished a blanket. Or finished anything other than small projects like hats, scarves, baby blankets, toys, accessories. Things that can be finished in a few hours or a couple of days.
So, how do you crochet?
Do you plan it out or do you simply just crochet when the mood hits? Do you crochet on the couch/in the car/ on the bus/ train? Do you crochet in a certain chair with a certain hook? What do you use as inspiration?
I'm so curious and I hope all you awesome crochet people out there will answer! And hopefully I can learn something from your routine!

I crochet best when I ought to be doing something else, like sleeping or folding laundry (my least favorite chore!). Actually, for the most part I crochet whenever I can get my hands on a hook. I have 2 kids so that's not always as often as I want, but I like that it's something I can do sitting in my favorite corner of the couch while my husband is in his chair nearby. A lot of mine is for business purposes these days, as my mom and I have started a business. We have a blog, too! www.clockquirks.blogspot.com
I don't have a "schedule" per se but I pretty much crochet after work while I'm sitting around watching movies. If I am going to be a passenger in the car for more than 45 minutes I absolutely bring a project with me. One way I stay focused on a project is I keep it out, in my face, ALL THE TIME! That way I don't 'forget' about it or feel the urge to move onto something more. I have to finish one thing before another. Although I have 2/3 of a blanket in a basket by my tv that I've yet to finish =/ I definitely have to be in the mood though!
i crochet whenever the kids will let me. i sit on the toilet and crochet while they have a bath, i crochet while they play (though i usually only get a stitch or two done before having to help out in some way!). i do most of my crochet work after dinner when the kids are happily playing with my husband. I curl up on the couch and get as much done as i can. i am always obsessed with finishing a project, so i work every second I have ..... even if it means ignoring the laundry!
