crochet is the ultimate autism hobby. stim. excuse to not make eye contact. pattern recognition. repetitive movement. ultimate gratification at the end. "you wouldn't download a clothing" fuck you yes i will. and i have. i made fabric in fun shape and its ONE STRING and i made it from nothing. i would also download a fun little stuffed guy. and many other things. yes i have carpal/ulnar tunnel now but that is irrelevant

The thing they don’t tell you about yarn art is that you will learn that you don’t know how to count.

having adhd and being a fiber artist means that you can substitute bodily maintenance for 5 hours of The Project

but watch out

For my fellow fibre arts witches, if you're starting to get the Annual Cold Weather Fidget, that driving urge to reach for hooks and needles and that big bin of spools and fabric lurking in your closet....

If you feel like Doing A Witchcraft, you can work some witchy into whatever you're making. Weaving, crocheting, knitting, nalbinding, stitching, embroidery, and knotwork can all carry magic and serve as a vehicle for creating spells, sigils, talismans, or enchanted wearables.

Am I saying you can put a spell into that pair of socks you're knitting? That scarf you've been working on? That pile of granny squares waiting to become a blanket? That cross-stitch piece you've been meaning to finish?

ABSOLUTELY.

There are even books on knot magic, witchy crochet and knitting patterns, and beautifully spooky cross-stitch and embroidery pieces. (And lots more downloadable patterns exist on etsy and fibre arts forums!) Perfect for chilling with your favorite hot beverage and current binge-watch while you keep your hands from getting bored.

Go forth and have fun with it!

The neurodivergent urge to start a new overpriced hobby

[technically-i-exsist]

Hear me out: Cross Stitch, Knitting and Crochet are literally the PERFECT hobbies for autistic people. It’s got texture, instructions to follow, codes and symbols to learn, grids to match. It’s repetitive, it makes soothing little noises. A lot of special interests have related patterns so it’s a 2 for 1 deal. Good starting conversation topic if you are feeling social but also doubles as a reason to ask to be left alone. Shit slaps.

Nobody talks about how hobbies like crochet and knitting have suspense, anxiety, and gambling involved and it’s all thanks to a self inflicted game called yarn chicken
