Just curious. I crochet a bunch, newly including Tunisian crochet. Tried knitting but that shit's hard, and slowwww. Might use my knitting skills for super small stuff like washcloths, but I doubt I'd have the patience to create anything bigger.

Crochet, though. Crochet is dope. My favorite thing to make is scarves. They're nice and easy but useful and usually don't require you to count stitches like hats and other circular things do. I donate a lot of scarves and the occasional hat or blanket to local mutual aid organizations.

I may post some pics of my crochet later on, but atm I'm at work and can't do so.

I used to crochet. I got so into it, I was doing it on a daily basis. I tried to start an etsy store but it didn't really take off.

My avatar is actually the first three things I crocheted when I was learning, IIRC. I messed up the round on the purple egg so it's a bit lopsided. Gave it a sad face, but it's so cute!

I mostly made amigurumi (crocheted/knitted plushies), then I expanded into wearables like arm-warmers, toque, scarves. I made some pouches. One for a deck of tarot cards I own. Another for my ebook reader. I think the pouch for my ebook reader was the last thing I made.

I need to get back into it again!
