A bit challenging at first but so much fun after starting to get the hang of it
There are so many gorgeous and intricate patterns you can find online

I just recently followed a tutorial on YouTube about filet crochet. I feel crochet is a good way to turn your mind off repeating the same pattern. Filet crochet requires a little bit more attention but once you get the hang of it, it’s so fun! I made a rose for my first attempt!

Soooo until I made this scarf I freehanded EVERYTHING bc patterns seemed too difficult to read and I felt like I wouldn’t be able to adjust them without knowing The Rules. This scarf is super tiny and quick so it doesn’t feel like a daunting investment.
There’s also a bunch of YouTube videos on simple open knit sweater/tops that could be helpful to following along on.
getting comfortable freehand knitting made me more confident when approaching patterns when I decided to do that but I know for other people it can be the other way around ! One free hand tip I have is to get some circular needles that more or less correspond to the circumference of your belly and knit from bottom to top a tank top by experimenting with increases, decreases, and splitting the shirt at the armpits and finagling some straps.

It’s a lot of fun now (and so convenient for my lifestyle) but maybe I was meant to figure it out later anyway. I know I wouldn’t have explored other weaving techniques as much if I learnt crochet first, that’s for sure.

Disgusting and enthralling. Cheesy in the best way. First periods. Snarling. Howling at the moon. A life-changing movie that absolutely had to have had an influence on Jennifer’s Body. Naturally it’s the first of a trilogy, and each film gets worse but you can’t stop watching.
