    I think this is a big reason why I don’t crochet more. I like to just go at it and not have to stop to figure out what I need to do next. This was encouraging. Thanks

    I find it ironic that I found this video today, it was confirmation for my last project. I just finished an afghan (my design) done in double crochet and single crochet. It was done in a rush for a friend who had to have emergency surgery to have her foot removed. I wanted to have a blanket for her, to comfort her in her recovery. It turned into a prayer blanket with me praying over every stitch and it needed to be "mindless" because my mind was elsewhere. I loved that I had a gift to share and it meant so much to her. Mindless is good when life is overwhelming💕

    This is exactly what I needed to watch today. I have been mindlessly looking at my yarn stash and patterns, my fingers itching to crochet but my head not into any of the patterns I have looked at. Not sure why I didn't think of this before...I guess I needed someone else to give me a little push to get me out of my head. I love your channel and find you very interesting and inspirational, no matter what project you are working on/suggest. Thank you!

    I'm using Toni's ripple afghan pattern to use up a bunch of color changing yarn and it's *gorgeous*. It's not 100 percent mindless - you do have to remember the stitch pattern and make sure you're following it, but the stitch pattern was very easy to memorize even when I was a total beginner!

    Have you ever used the stripe randomizer online? You just enter numbers of colors (I used skein counts) and it gives you a random arrangement of the stripes, and if you don’t like one you just click for another! Made one of my fave blankets using it.

    i'm a life-long knitter and never fully caught on to crochet but i picked it up last year and felt like i was struggling so much! i was just using some cheap hooks from amazon that kept snagging and i couldnt keep tension but thanks to your vids i invested in a clover set and wow theyve made the difference! now i'm gunna work some of these easy /mindless projects so i can work some of my yarn stash and practice before i start making gifts for my friends and family. thank you so much for your honesty and informative videos!

    Ok, not only the projects themselves, but the art you used of beautiful people knitting and crocheting in lovely, cozy spaces was so inspiring! I love crocheting on my couch on my days off with my husband, daughter, and cat all around me also doing their own thing. My husband is usually reading, my daughter is either also crocheting or on her phone, and my cat is purring on someone’s lap. We don’t even have to talk to each other (though we often do) but that homey feeling I get is something I will always treasure.

    I am here to confess that I have been watching your fabulous videos as I complete a sewing project for my church. The sewing is repetitive and somewhat mindless. Listening to your videos has been keeping my mind alert. Although I do not knot or crochet, I do have a passion for bead-weaving and fused glass. Many if your ideas and suggestions are great for akmost any art form and I will be applying g them to mine! I downloaded two of your free tools, the project journal and how to use up scraps. In both my glass and beading I have small amounts of leftover beads and I am inspired. Thank you from a new subscriber!

    I’ve been going through a tough mental time recently and crochet is always my comfort. I couldn’t figure out why I kept starting new projects and then abandoning them but I think this might be why! Too many of them are knitting which will never be the same as crochet for me and the crochet projects are just too complicated right now. Guess I have to start project a million and one 😂

    Hi Elise, loved the video today. We have so much in common. I too love having a simple project to work on from time to time. I am a firm believer that there can be much beauty in simplicity. Not every project has to be a mind blowing challenge to be a unique and artistic expression. I don't do well personally with too man WIP's so what I usually do is have one challenging project going and one simple free flowing one in my basket. That way I can pick up whatever one suits my mood or pain level. I have a three easy afghan patterns that I have made many times over the years one is made in panels and then stitched together. The other is a hexagon granny square. The third is a unique ripple afghan that I once saw on tv made by an Amish lady. It has a slightly different pattern than most ripples and I have made several as gifts over the years. I just finished my ballerina teddy bear and am getting ready to sew the head onto another doll. Ever since I found your channel I can't stop making amigurumi! I no sooner get one done than I am beginning another. You have opened up the whimsical side of my imagination. I am having a blast. It is really also nice to have the opportunity to use up some of the little bits and bobs in my stash. I hope you have a lovely day ahead!

      the chain is the worst. I would ask an experienced person to chain and do the first row for you. Then you could have all the fun without the frustration.

    I'm currently working on a blanket (my first!) and it's pretty mindless. So long as I don't miss a stitch I don't have to count, but... I still do, just to be safe 😂 But it's simple enough that I'm able to read a book while keeping a count going in my head. It might be a while before I start my next blanket, as this one is 70"x84", but I think I'll be coming back to this video to pick one!

    Absolutely love everything! My grandma taught me to crochet(knit a little) when I was around 9 years old, the granny rectangle was the first pattern she showed me. That lady could look at her toaster, blender, or whatever and whip up a cover complete with flowers embroidered on the outside. She also came up with a scrap yarn blanket that was awesome, using alternating dc and single crochet rows. Also, she would pre-roll the various scrap yarn balls into two sizes, one that equaled a sc row, and one that equaled a dc row.

All I know is I watched 15 movies, so let's say less than 45 hours from start, frogging that all out, restart, to end grand total time. It's the German Shells meets Granny Square. It's 72" in a square, so baby will have their own forever afghan 🥰
    My toss-aside is going to be a movie snake. You may have heard how people are doing book genre snakes? I'm doing one with the movies I "watch" (let's face it, we don't really watch anything while crocheting 😂) and go from there. I'm 15 rows of black for my favorite 1970s - 90s horror classics (Child's Play and Nightmare on Elm Street & some Stephen King as well). I ADORE mindless crochet patterns!!!!!

    Certainly I just started learning and I'm much more excited about amigurumi but I usually find myself gravitating towards the TLC blanket by All In A Nutshell that I'm working on because I don't have to think. It's designed to teach you crochet so it starts with a row of sc, then a row of hdc, and gets more complex (right now im making granny squares to add to the blanket). It is great to not have to count stitches because you're just going to the end of the row, and you can get into such a flow.

    Yes, I have one of those projects. It is a blanket, I foget the pattern's name, using varigated Red Heart yarn. Believe it or not, my mindless crochet must change stitches or I get too bored and won't work on it. This one is simple changes of double, triple (going into the row below), double, and chain one. Ending a row is a little different with 2 doubles. It's fun and easy.

    Hello again Amazing Elise! ❤️ I wanted to ask you if you would think about doing a video on different fibers (cotton, wool, acrylic, etc.) and the pros & cons of each as well as what you would recommend making with the fibers.
    I have been crocheting for about 3 yrs and only ever used acrylic. I bought some Premier Just Cotton and wanted to make some socks or a headband with it but noticed that its has almost no give or stretch.

    I am a mom of 2 kids under 5 and crocheting is something I have found to unwind and relax. It is so soothing after a hectic day with my girls. I’ve recently have been working on 2 projects at once. An amigurumi cow and a blanket. I’ve found when I need to relax I reach for the blanket. When I have the mind power I reach for the cow. You said it perfectly how sometimes we just need a mindless project! Thanks for sharing more ideas.
