I find it easier than knitting for some reason, but if knitting is your bag, then go with that. I just love turning my brain off and crocheting while I watch tv or listen to a podcast!!!! If you have the problem that I do where you need to have something to do w your hands while you sit still (lol) (needing to be productive while relaxing) (aka ADHD) this is great. And bonus you get a new sweater or hat or blanket when you’re done!
