I learned to crochet this past summer when I worked at a Girl Scout Camp from the Arts and Crafts Specialist. And then when I went off to college this year, my RA held a floor activity about learning to knit. Since then, every week we have a “Stitch ‘n’ Bitch” group where we sit around and work on some kind of crafty project together. It’s totally relaxing, and now I have stuff to do while watching TV or something, and I can give homemade presents now. :-)
