“Every single row is a new mission to unlock in your brain.” That is my favourite line today. Thank you.
As someone who crochets regularly and also started with granny squares: I made one granny square and didn’t pick up a crochet hook for two years I made seven Bees in one weekend
Honestly this is good advice for anyone starting hobbies with adhd “start at a point in the hobby where you can obtain a thing at the end and if the hobby doesn’t allow that… don’t” I would be so much happier if I could do that.
The idea of having a little stuffed animal by the end of it is SO motivating
As an adhd crocheter, this is 1000% accurate! Stuffed animals are nearly all I crochet! (Winter hats are also an ok starting place)
Certified ADHD recommendation
She is 100percent correct. I started with making mini octopuses and they were really easy for me as a beginner.
This is so accurate. As someone with ADHD, the only crochet project I've ever finished was a stuffed animal
“it has EYES” shrugs “that’s cute” is me describing a new crush I barely know
nervously glances over to the four squares I made 2 months ago
I love her method of communicating with us. It is honest, pure, unfiltered, unedited ... I believe her
ADHD and art is no joke. You really nailed it with getting 2 squares in and calling it a success. It was like you were describing my life. So visceral.
Yesss, loving the ADHD hobby advice, can this please be a genre
My mom literally made "unfinished" blankets because the cats liked to lay on them, and 1-2 squares is the perfect size for a cat blanket. The first one was actually cuz she started a blanket and the cat laid on it constantly so she just left that one and restarted with a slightly different pattern to leave the cat's tile unique
That's how I started. 😊 Woobles was a GREAT start for me. It had everything to get started, and it was easy to follow. Wish I could afford more of them.
My adhd friend got into crocheting and the only thing she’s been making is bees, tiny squids, scarfs and hats for the bees it’s literally so adorable 😭
for christmas as a very beginner crocheter i made my entire family little blobs with eyes and ears. they loved them
If I started granny squares, I’d feel the irrepressible urge to make every color combination with all the colors I own
I listen to her advice and started with amigurumi 😄 And the granny square scared me for a while, but then I tried them and they were easy because i already know how to do amigurumi
