I used to know how to crochet, at least the very basics, once upon a time when I was very small. I might still have a crochet hook lying around somewhere, and I'm pretty sure I have some yarn. Perhaps I should find a couple tutorial videos and see if I can pick it up again... :-)
(I do all this because I need something to keep my hands occupied and thus eat spare brainpower while I listen to audio-only things; I cannot otherwise maintain focus for more than a couple minutes. Sewing works -- I have hemmed a fair number of pants and made a bunch of repairs while listening to podcasts -- as does something as trivial and pointless as arranging loose popsicle sticks into geometric patterns. Coloring books were just what I had on hand most recently, when I got tired of needles and thread.)
