Help, working mommies out there?

[eli1118]

I am a newbie and am addicted to crochet. I just finished my first amigurumi mouse:cheerHowever, I am going back to work in a week, have an 11 month old son and was wondering--Will I still be able to crochet? I will take any suggestions on how to balance it all.

Thanks in advance.

It is kind of like when they kids are first born and someone tells you to make sure you sleep when the baby does; well, now instead of sleep you crochet when the little ones sleep.

I crochet for about an hour before I go to sleep. Any other time is rare with my 1 yr old.

At night will be your best chance.

You'll still be able to crochet. Your little one is growing up and at that age, they do it quickly. When your child wants to spend time playing with you, do that. When your child is being independant and playing on his own, then pick up the hook and yarn and sneak a few stitches in here and there. Just don't leave it where he can reach it since they love to "help".

You guys are great!! When my little one sleeps or naps is a go. I might try to do some during my lunch time at work. I am hooked. I am working on my second ami:lol . Thanks for all the support.

eli1118 -- i practically quit crocheting when my new baby came in to my life but it called me back recently (she is 7 now). whatever you do, DON'T get rid of your favorite pattern books if you find you hardly have the time right now. best wishes,
