I've hooked off and on for...10 years? Started knitting in high school and saw a fellow student crocheting and it looked...complicated so I didn't look into it. Fast forward a few years and started watching YouTube videos on it and it was SO much easier than knitting, especially for blankets. Made lots of scarves at first.

What am I good at? Ponchos and blankets. Was on a poncho kick for a while and now I'm back to blankets.

I'd like to learn mosaic and how to do like...pictures and such. I tend to avoid it because having to think too much about a pattern is stressful (looking at you Sophie's Universe). Relatively mindless crochet is the best crochet :)
