How to create a digital Crochet Planner in ClickUp
I have been reviewing the Crochet folder which I created previously. Here’s an update!
Back in August 2021, I uploaded an article on how I managed my crochet projects and yarn in ClickUp. Crocheting is one of my hobbies that I picked up last year. I quickly realize that I need a planner to note down:-
- the projects that I have created so that I can know the tweaks or challenges I have done and faced respectively, and
- the yarn that I owned so that I know what I have when I am at the store.
Hence, I created the digital Crochet Planner on ClickUp, since their tagline is “One app to replace them all”. 😉
During the past 9 months, I have been reviewing the Crochet folder which I created previously. Hence, in this article, I am sharing with you my LATEST Crochet template. Stay tuned to the end to see how you can obtain it. 😊
DISCLAIMER: As of 1 November 2022, I am under the ClickUp Affiliate Program. My intention for this article still stays the same, which is to share how I use ClickUp as an individual user. If you want to save a day every week, sign up here. Cheers!☺
First, I deleted the “Products” list. Here’s a quote from my August 2021 article:
The “Products” list stores all products which I have completed. Each product is an item on the list. In this list, I consolidated all the different patterns which I have learned (from the “Projects” list).
After 9 months, it does not fit into my workflow at all. It felt unnecessary to copy all patterns of the same final product into another list. Instead, if I want to search for the various patterns of the same final product, i.e. a scrunchie, I shall type “scrunchie” on the top-left search bar in my “Projects” list.
From the above screenshot, I immediately can tell that I have searched 3 videos on how to make a scrunchie, and out of the 3, I have watched 2 videos.
Second, I have refined the “Projects” list. I removed all custom fields because they were redundant.
- Reference URL — With the bookmark feature in ClickUp, I have explained in my previous article how a URL can be easily added to ClickUp.
- Tags —ClickUp allows users to search for keywords in the Task name and Task description. Why bother creating a custom field?
- Materials Check — Sometimes, I don’t buy yarn for a specific purpose. Creativity might strike anytime and I might use some leftover yarn.
Then, I added two new custom fields to the “Projects” list.
- Difficulty rating — It ranges from 1 to 5. ClickUp allows users to customize the emoji that they want to use. For me, I use 💪🏻.
- The number of items that I have created — For each pattern, I indicated the number of items that I have completed along with the particular pattern. This is a simple Number field.
Third, I have refined the “Yarn” list.
- I renamed the “Yarn” list the “Stash” list. This name sounds much cooler.
- I removed the Tags field. The reason is the same as before.
- I removed the Amount of Yarn field. It’s hard to gauge how much yarn I have on a scale from 1 to 10.
- So, I re-purposed No. of Skiens to No. of Skiens Left as I have removed the progress bar.
- I repurposed Price Paid (Total) to Price Paid per Skien as this is the price that I consider when purchasing yarn.
- I added a new Label field to distinguish the yarn’s material.
That’s all that I have updated. As I have mentioned in my previous article, joining these 2 areas — crochet and ClickUp — is a unique combination. To receive your template, drop me a comment below: “🧶”.
