I have always envied people who can crochet, but never felt I had the energy or drive to pick up a new hobby. Turns out I do! Today was day three of crocheting and I have already made some good practice pieces.

It's nice and useful - it keeps me off my phone, and I do need to be doing something with my hands in order to focus.

So-called "granny squares" were harder to make. The cool thing about crocheting, though, is that you can just start over at any time. I started over a few times with my first granny squares. It felt good even to fail - it just meant I had more things to do with my hands! I'm sure I will be more perfectionist with my first big projects.

Unfortunately, I hate the texture of thickly knit and crocheted clothing, so I'll just be making a bunch of excess for a while. I think crocheting is one of those things that's not so useful now that we have mass-produced fabric, which is awful because it's so fucking addictive.
