They really are the perfect utensil.
Evolution at its finest. They're both practical and versatile, and yet, due to their mixed, unconventional, and somewhat whimsical heritage they're discriminated against.
Even if you have other creative pursuits that require your brain to work, it’s fun to have one that requires very little thought or attention. I started crocheting a couple years ago and it’s perfect while sitting in front of the TV or listening to a podcast or just zoning out. Makes me feel productive even as my brain melts out my ears, and makes me feel creative even when I’m not doing any cooler, more challenging projects that require more of my energy.
