This is one of the things I love about crochet as well!

Thank you for this beautiful piece--I loved hearing about your experience with slow-stitching. There's definitely something meditative about it. I went through a period of doing a lot of crochet (right after I found out my brother was expecting a baby because I wanted to crochet some baby clothes!) but haven't picked it up in a while. I think I maybe started to get too attached to the end result and overwhelmed by the steps to get there, and haven't picked it up in a while. Your piece was a wonderful reminder of how healing something like crochet can be when I let myself enjoy the process.
