Have you ever done this?

[rascalsmom]

Fallen asleep while crocheting?

 

Yes, I did it the other night. I was working on a doily, and it was one of those things that are very repetitive....before I knew it, I looked up and the hook was falling out of my hand and the stitch falling off the hook!

 

At that point I decided it was time to put the crocheting away for the night....

 

This was definitely a first for me!

[pakat]

Actually......... yes, I've done that also....

[contrary.crocheter]

yes! at christmas when I was up late trying to finish everything. I was making cupcakes tea cosy pattern and do a lot of it by feel since I have made it so many times...love that pattern!! Anyway, I kept "resting my eyes" and I fell asleep and would wake up with some strange stitches. After a couple of times pulling out the same thing...I would give up and just go to bed

[rascalsmom]

Glad to know I'm not alone!

[chichiwawa]

I do this all the time. The worst for me though is when I dream that I have finished my project only to wake up and find that this is not so.

[crochetchic]

My husband actually said that I was crocheting in my sleep, my hands were moving like I was crocheting.

[Feederofthepack]

Oh yes! Big ole afghan, monotonous stitch, warm room...= zone out and snooze

[mva5493]

yes, I was stitching 4 rrs for xmas gifts, and was trying to get them all finished on time, I fell asleep and slept under each one. As they got big enough to snuggle under, I was already tired, the ghans were warm and cozy...before you know it dh is waking me up telling me I should give up for the night. I did have to redo a few stitches that I shouldn't have been doing while that tired anyway, but I did get them all finished and without too many mistakes,lol.

Ditto :lol

Good Iam not alone I was working on a afghan almost done all covered with it when then the next thing ya know Found my in the bed the next morning. Also part of the ghan was frogged must have been from turning over and pulling up around me.

I was working a border on a large afghan, 1 side left, so I kept going. I woke up when I slide out of my rocking chair, I was all tangled up too . Warm comfy afghans will do that to you .

Yes, I've done it too. I did while on a car trip. I lost my hook down between the seats and pulled out some of my stitches. Needless to say, I put my project aside for a while.

[ldyer1]

My husband was weaving in ends on one of my ghans the other day while home sick....

 

3 hours later he wakes up, and says "I hope they won't mind the afghan slightly used"

 

[everkutz]

Ha! ha! ha! I do this almost EVERY night! My teenage son usually comes in around midnight to gently wake me so I shut off my light and put away my crocheting! I'm doing a round ripple and that's repetitive too! Crocheting...the best sleeping medicine ever!! ZZZzzzzz! (the next day I have to recheck those last few stitches as I usually have an error or two!)

[pat54]

I'm with everkutz, almost every night. My other half has learned to be careful picking up the hook and project out of my hand so as not to pull out the stitches.

[wiz3283]

Yes and if I dont go to bed soon it will happen again tonight!

[ArielManx]

LOL! This has happened to me too - like a lot of you have said, when working on a big afghan. It's especially bad if I sit down to crochet after supper - full tummy, warm afghan, all relaxed...bad combo!

[CrochetLiving]

Everyone's answer here is too funny!!

 

I must be the opposite. Crocheting wakes me up!

[rascalsmom]

Usually crocheting helps to KEEP me from dozing off in front of the TV.....

 

I was not crocheting a warm cozy afghan...it was a doily!

[Cherokee2]

I don't think I've ever done that... but I have insomnia and can't fall asleep easily anyway. I told my doctor about this problem and he asked what hobbies I enjoy... when I told him crochet, he said, if you don't go to sleep within 20 minutes, get up and read or crochet until you feel sleepy. SO.... I tried it and... I ended up taking a sleeping pill.

I guess I just get too involved... but when a pattern is so repetitive, or gets boring to me... I put it aside and work on something else.

[alibra]

Yes, I have done this many times, and then I wake up like someone just poked me, of course I am alone....ha!

[kazily]

I do that a lot. I sometimes find out the next day that I've messed up my last row lol...crocheted it in my sleep or half asleep! like gone from sc to dc or vice versa when I wasn't supposed to I get sleepy but instead of stopping I go on a little longer & then I'm out.

[lighthouselady]

Yes, many times

[crazycrochet]

Yes, lots of times.

[Sherilynn]

I do this all the time. The worst for me though is when I dream that I have finished my project only to wake up and find that this is not so.

oh that just isn't fair!

 

I definitely do my share of head bobbing while crocheting. Late at night, is often my only opportunity to crochet.
