...and why you love it.
Saw taxidermy mentioned on another thread and I cannot understand the appeal or ongoing interest AT ALL but it clearly ticks the box for some people!
I love crochet & photography.
(I've had other hobbies I've been passionate about but they've been very active & old injury means I can't do them anymore.)
I like the tactile nature of crochet - like the feel of the wool under my fingers & how patterns feel when they've been crocheted. I'm attracted to the wide range of colours & beautiful things people create & post online - they feel like achievable aspirations. I also love that I could make something for a child or baby & it might be treasured for years, maybe even handed down. It's like leaving a little piece of me behind, crochet is very intentional because with every stitch you have to re-commit to what you're doing so there's a lot of thought & care in every piece.
I find it's very calming which is also why I like photography. Not very good at this! But having to focus on your subject through the lens is very mindful & really forces you to connect with what's around you
But I am very visual and when something catches my eye trying to find the best way to capture it in the camera is a lot of fun, interesting and really creative. Plus when I take a picture I do love I get to enjoy it for as long as I like.
