Crochet

I'm currently learning to crochet.


I saw the episode of Horizon about the unconscious mind recently and it was fascinating to watch right before beginning to learn a new skill. I've knitted for long enough that those motions have now become automatic, but crochet feels awkward and unfamiliar – it still requires conscious thought (and will do for a while I suspect). An added difficulty is that I knit English-style, with the the yarn in my right hand, so I feel incredibly clumsy manipulating the yarn with my my left hand.
