Knitting and crochet, especially, are great ways to get crafty while being practical because you can make so many things for yourself and loved ones instead of buying them: clothes, beanies, bags, blankets, pet accessories, toys & stuffed animals, etc. I’ve crocheted a lot of things for myself and friends, but I need to learn to knit so I can make sweaters and socks.

i’m currently embroidering a sweatshirt, and all of my christmas ornaments that i gifted were embroidered felt. i also got really into weaving a while ago and wove myself a belt out of yarn, and i am back into crocheting as well. and my mum requested i make her a macrame plant hanger so i guess i’m doing macrame now. I LOVE FIBRE ARTS

I find it easier than knitting for some reason, but if knitting is your bag, then go with that. I just love turning my brain off and crocheting while I watch tv or listen to a podcast!!!! If you have the problem that I do where you need to have something to do w your hands while you sit still (lol) (needing to be productive while relaxing) (aka ADHD) this is great. And bonus you get a new sweater or hat or blanket when you’re done!

I first shaved my head in 2017 because I wanted to do something bold with my body, something I had considered for 2 whole weeks before just doing it. Now, I haven’t cut my hair since November 2024 and my hair is in the pixie stage. When people, usually women, ask me about cutting my hair, I always tell them to do it at least once because it’s so liberating to reclaim your body in a very obvious but temporary way. It’s also nice to not worry about extensive care and maintenance. I’m not sure if I’m going to like having long hair again, but I’m going to give it another try.
