I’m a retired teacher turned homeschool mom. I enjoy the slower mornings and crochet in the morning while listening to some of my favorite KZreadrs (usually biblical teachings) and in the evening after dinner. My problem is that sometimes I don’t want to stop crocheting and I am either getting a late start on homeschool lessons with my 14 year old or going to bed really late! 😝 self- discipline is hard!

loved your video about this. I started crocheting in the morning about 6 months ago, because of a very stressful time at work. Work has changed, but I kept the routine, as it's very enjoyable, and I get so much done! 😊💟

Between work and going back to college for my bachelor’s degree as an adult learner, crochet keeps me sane! It is my happy place and it relaxes me. I taught myself at the beginning of the pandemic and I wish I had started crocheting years ago. I carry a project with me to work and and crochet for a bit before I go into the building!

I'm a combo crocheter....but then, my project for this year was to make a blanket for every one in our families for Christmas. I made 11 blankets. My goal was to be finished by Halloween so that the holidays would be free of the stress of finishing up the last one on Christmas eve, LOL. I'm happy to report that I completed the last one 3 weeks early, so yes, I was crocheting every spare moment outside of my full time job. And I'm so happy that I did. As I was finishing that project, work announced that we'd have a charity event for our local homeless shelter for the holidays. I was able to make 9 hats for that collection that was picked up last Tuesday. I'm tickled pink to know those recipients will be kept a little warmer just as our winter weather is beginning (It snowed on Halloween here in Michigan). I can attest to the creativity and productivity being higher in the morning for me, too, as compared to the evenings, after my brain has been hard at work all day.

That mouse is too cute. Since I work full time I cant really crochet in the mornings, but I sometimes will bring a project to work with me and work on it during my lunch break. Then when I get home I take a min and then get back into doing some other projects. On my days off I definitely crochet in the morning, once I let the dog out, feed the pets, make a tea or a coffee, then sit down and have a nice morning session. If the weather is bad out I will pretty much stay inside all day and crochet, taking little breaks and just being all cozy.

As a mom to a 1 year old crazy girl, I’m a middle of the night crocheter. I used to crochet throughout the entire day but I realized it wasn’t good for my or my baby… she would want attention, and I would stress out that I couldn’t ever crochet because she wanted to play all the time. I wanted to be attentive to my daughter and not have my mind wrapped around something else while giving her what she wants and needs. I contemplated giving up crochet for a while, but eventually I was like “why don’t I just do it while she’s asleep?” And it’s changed my life. Yes, I’m extra tired in the mornings, but it’s worth it to be able to give my baby the attention she needs and also be able to fill my cup.

This video came at the perfect time! I was just thinking about my morning routine this morning, which doesn't really excist at the moment due to a weird week and a vacation the week before. A while ago I started reading for 15 minutes in the morning, and I really want to incorporate that again, because it didn't really happen the last weeks and I feel that my brain loves reading the most in the morning. I'm just to tired to read before going to bed.😅 I think I'm gonna start adding 20 minutes of sock knitting in the morning. I have a couple of socks I'm so exicted to make, but also have some other garment wips and plans, so the socks don't get a lot of work. Because during my knitting time in the day and evening, those garments get my attention. Especially with the colder weather, those big garments are great on my lap. And I don't sit in the same place every morning, so socks are great and portable for that😂 And I get the bedmaking thing, I'm the same. But from the video I couldn't see if you let air out your bed. I alsways learned to wait at least 30 minutes with the window open before making your bed and adding the extra cushions etc. So maybe making the bed after the 30 minutes of crocheting?😊

I am a combo, but have days, even weeks at a time when I can't work it in at all. I first got into crocheting after I was injured in the line of duty. I ended up going down a dark hole when the injury left me disabled. Over time, my physical ability continued and continues to decrease. I now have a dehabilitating nerve disease, CRPS. Being a former single mom of 3, working 60 to 80 hours a week to support my kids alone, plus very active with my kids and doing everything myself, it was a heck of a blow. Going from the title of law enforcement/corrections and sub teacher, to disabled is pretty bad. Especially with how others react or treat me because I am disabled, have a hard time walking, ect... Crocheting blankets helped me some. To sum it up, 2 christmas's ago, i stumbled on a pokemon amigurumi book. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my soon to be daughter in law, plus yarn, stuffing, ect. I had introduced her to crocheting a few months before and she loves pokemon. Anyway, she lost interest, so last year I ordered the book for myself. I began making the pokemon and have branched on to making stuffies and other amigurumi. Honestly, it has done a lot for me as I struggle with my body, physical ability, emotional toll, ect... Unlike blankets that were becoming too difficult for me to continue, amigurumi is just what I need. The fact that I can't get them finished before someone stakes a claim to my current one does so much for me mentally that I can't even put in words. It also slows the spread of CRPS to the parts of my body crocheting is keeping active. I am hoping to get to the point of eventually setting up a booth at some of our festivals, have my sons set it up and 1 help run it, to earn some extra money to help and hopefully start making some accommodations that I really need to my home. Sorry for babbling, just wanted to say I am going to follow this advice, as I love my crocheting time and just haven't had much time for it lately. I'll just set my alarm 30 minutes earlier just to do this. Thank you, as I believe this is just what I need.

I usually have things to do but I noticed (repeatedly) that it was hard to wait. I became quite stress waiting the hour out --cheated often -- which affected the rest of my day. I found by working on knit or crochet, the hour flew by. So, I do a few other things, in the morning, and then pick-up my project...it is about 30min of crochet or knit. I agree, it has improved my day.

I just adore you and your videos. I have to tell you that I am a seasoned crocheted. My grandmother 👵 taught me how to crochet and embroider at the age of 7. I have enjoyed this art form all my life. I am crocheting all the time. The only time I am not crocheting is if I am sleeping, working, gardening or bathing...I am crocheting. I have also found joy in crocheting in the morning before I start working. ❤

I had to laugh when you were describing making your bed...I thought I was the only person that made their bed before getting in to it at night, if it had gone undone all day. 🤣 I had also added 30 minutes to my morning routine recently - I had challenged myself to include 30 minutes each of bible study, reading for pleasure, a walk and crocheting. Self discipline has always been a struggle for me, I could get everything done that was needed but there was not much joy or fun while I did it. After 2 months of this I find that I have less stress and my creativity is back. Crocheting has always given me joy and crocheting everyday makes my heart sing. Thank you for your inspirational talks.💕

I am a combo Crocheter, but I have recently found that I am getting up earlier then I ever did before about 6:30 and it's my quiet time. I can do my chores early, and be all relaxed before my dad gets up for the day. It also allows me time to be faster in the morning crochet time. I drive my friend to work and her kids to school so having a time that is just mine is awesome.

I have found that I’m more creative with crochet and my music pursuits in the morning. But living alone I have found that creativity happens all during the day. But for sure more so in the morning.

I am a night owl. I make myself go to bed in the midnight to 1 A.M. time frame. We are retired. We get up around 9. My husband makes our bed. 😊 I love crocheting any time of the day...but it's usually in the evenings. Today, it's all day.. I'm frogging a sweater that had sleeves fit for an orangutan! 😅

I just had a newborn 3 months ago and I started feeling down because I wasn’t doing anything for myself. I started diamond painting and embroidering whenever I could and I feel so much more like myself again. For those of us who enjoy making things with out hands, it’s a necessity. I now understand why musicians say they HAVE to play music. If they don’t, they feel not themselves.

I'm also retired. I like making goals for myself and often they are just small challenges. My goal/challenge this fall and winter.. Is to crochet or knit outdoors most days. No rainy or snowy days .. because my work and pattern will get wet. And if it is windy.. it will be too uncomfortable. I have my wool socks. My wool sweater. My jacket .. fingerless gloves.. and quilt.. should I need it. Best way to achieve a goal is to be prepared. And I am. Also my deck is on the south side of my home and is sheltered . So far there has only been 3 or 4 days I haven't been out. .. I often stay outside for 3 or 4 hours It is good for getting away from the stresses of life that one has no control of.

I agree first thing morning and last thing night. The days are too hectic as a retired married lady. I have projects bedside, in the morning reflections and reading Quran area, in the sunroom and upstairs in the stitching area looking out to backyard. So no excuses. I crochet wherever and whenever.

I crochet at least three times a day because I am retired. I love to make Mandala style blankets and the patterns are very complicated so I only work on them in the morning. I need easy projects to work on in the evening. I have always had a routine of checking over my evenings work in the morning over coffee and sewing in the ends.

I am definitely an all times of the day crocheter. I will do it in the morning with my first cup of coffee, after I put our youngest down for a nap, at night, and if I can't sleep then I will work on projects well into the night. Because of my autoimmune issues I can't crochet longer than 2hrs at a time without my arms flaring up. I really enjoyed this video!

Thank you Elise, for giving me permission for some crotchet time in the morning! I often get the urge and have ideas in the morning but feel that it is a guilty pleasure and push the thought aside. I was brought up to think that you get your work done and then you can ‘play’ but then run out of energy, time or focus for the thing I would otherwise enjoy. While ‘work first play later’ may have merit to some extent, just taking 30 minutes with a cuppa when I would otherwise be waking up and struggling to get motivated is almost guilt free😁. Thank you so much for this liberating permission - this is one thing I think I can do for myself without too much self-recrimination👍

Loved this video. This is something I have been doing for some time. I am an early morning riser (6am) so I make my morning coffee and sit with my crochet project and work for an hour or so before doing anything else. It's my morning meditation. My memory, concentration, and energy levels are best in the morning. By evening Im too tired. What I also love about crocheting early morning is the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. I find it easier to get into the creative zone when there is no noise or interruption. Crochet has been amazing for my mental health and anxiety. It's a form of therapy for me.
