Crochet is one of the best ways to unwind after a stressful day! I learned crochet when I was only 7 and living in the charming village of Lakenheath in England. No pun intended, but from then on I was hooked. The patient counting involved in crochet if you're following a pattern is well known to be relaxing, since you can't think of stressful stuff when you're trying to count stitches. The calming motion and repetition of the stitches is truly hypnotic and mesmerizing. It's known to bring down blood pressure, bring your mind into a state of calm and help you to focus and kind of lose yourself in creation of something fun and beautiful. Come with me as I teach you all the basics to get started, then feel free to move on to different stitches to enhance any pattern you choose to crochet. I'll include plenty of short, easy-to-follow videos teaching you lots of different stitches you can learn and experiment with! Happy crocheting and here's to your new, favorite, relaxing hobby!
