When people see me crocheting blankets with the tiniest hook and thread, they often say I must have the patience of a saint, and that they don't have the same level of patience for it.

Here's the surprising part: I'm actually very impatient! I'm like a puppy in a room full of tennis balls. Some days I can't focus on a project for more than 10 minutes. I constantly switch between projects and have boxes full of unfinished WIPs!

The good news is, you can make progress even in short bursts. It's not a race - you don't have to finish in one go or commit to hours-long sessions (your hands will thank you).

Because micro crochet is so small, you can take your project anywhere. Crochet during your commute, while waiting for your kids, or on your lunch break.

Micro crocheting can actually help you be more patient. Working small requires slowing down and enjoying the process. My start with micro crochet was frustrating, but sticking with it helped calm my inner puppy.

Quick tip: listen to your favorite podcast or audiobook while crocheting. It helps my busy mind stay patient.

What's your experience with your hobby? Has it made you more patient?
