Crocheting and Focus

I have realized why it was essential for me to learn every craft project growing up.  It certainly kept me busy and my mind engaged. As someone just said, you don’t compete with anyone but yourself. I think it might be true.

I learned to knit and crochet. I like them both, but I lean towards crochet. I have a bunch of yarn from Covid projects and some that have never been finished. My eyes were bigger than my stomach when I began a knitting project 13 years ago after not doing it for decades. I decided it was time to use all of the crochet Granny squares.

I started crocheting and found I couldn’t stop. I got so into it that I began doing it while on Zoom calls. I quickly realized that crocheting while on Zoom made me more focused on the call. 

I find my mind wandering, and it’s easy to check other things, which is so uncool. Yet crocheting is opening up a whole new world. I do not see myself bringing my crochet project into office meetings, but Zoom—that’s a whole other ball game.

I am not bringing it to a live meeting, although the focus might make it worthwhile.
