This is a appreciation post for crochet (cant find appropriate flair)
I picked up crochet while looking for something artistic to do, on a friend’s recommendation. Before that, I only knew about knitting, so this was completely new to me.
What really stood out was how much you get back for the effort you put in. It takes time and patience, but seeing something slowly come together in your hands is very satisfying. I also didn’t expect it to be this calming. I don’t get a lot of time these days, but whenever I do, I end up sitting with it for long stretches.
So far, I’ve made a sunflower and a rose, and I’m currently working on a bouquet blanket. There’s something very rewarding about watching a simple thread turn into something you can actually hold or gift to someone.
