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!

ideally a comedy, no subtitles, so you can glance down at your work now and then. you don’t need to be making anything good or useful. it’s just nice to keep your hands busy while you’re entertained. helps to focus and it makes you feel better than mindless snacking. best practiced in bed, hot drink of your choice on the night stand.

Faster than knitting, also easier to learn. I prefer to knit on a machine anyway. With crochet, a lot of the magic is in its flexibility of the stitches. How magical!

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.
