Ever since Æsa taught me how in 2015, crochet has been the craft love of my life. I dabble in other crafts (quilting, resin casting, sewing) but I always come back to crochet as my resting place. I'm neurodivergent (ADHD, OCD, PTSD, etc.) and crochet satisfies my need to stim and ward off existential dread at the same time. (I was interviewed about how crafting helps me manage my mental health in 2020!)
Because of that, I don't always bother to take pictures of my projects. I make them as gifts or even hand them off to anyone who asks: my coworker once commented that she liked the colors of the lapghan I'd been working on in meetings and I said, "Do you want it? Here, take it. I don't need another lapghan, honestly." She was shocked - but she took it off my hands so I wouldn't have to stuff another lapghan into my closet. (Seriously, I have so many lapghans and baby blankets. I only know one baby and he already has a blanket from me.)
