Twenty-Five Reasons I Love Crochet

At the behest of Fearless Leader over on the Crochet Liberation Front blog, I shall post my 25 reasons:

1. It makes pretty things quickly.
2. It makes fun things quickly.
3. There are always new things to be made out of the old. Like taking a pattern for a lace insert or edging and instead of using size 30 cotton, using DK weight yarn and making a beautiful scarf or wrap.
   
4. It can not be replicated by machines and thus is always a hand-made work of art.
5. It always looks complicated, even when it's not.
6. You are not limited in options of what to work with. Anything will work.
7. It is always amazing to those around you, especially if they don't know how to do it.
8. It's easier to change colors mid-row than with knitting.
9. You can work with REALLY FINE thread fairly easily.
10. It helps you focus when you need to take your mind off something.
11. It can turn the mundane into something spectacular.
12. You can embellish the simplest thing quickly and easily.
13. It makes the warmest afghans in the universe.
14. You're truly part of an elite group if you can crochet. (Yes, that is a dare.)
    
15. You can crochet anywhere. Though there are inappropriate times.
16. I can finish something in half the time or less than it would take to knit the same item.
17. Crochet does not look like knitting.
18. Even after 40 years, there are occasionally patterns that I look at and think, "What the heck are they talking about?" Not that I can't do it in the end, but the challenge is still there.
    
19. Crochet is never unhappy, and does not yell at you for stupid things.
    
20. A beautiful finished object makes me REALLY happy. And it doesn't matter if it's my finished object, or someone else's. If it's someone else's, it's inspiration.
21. Crochet is meditative and calming.
22. The cat can "help" with yarn control (though it's better to keep the dog away).
23. There is always something waiting to be made. Or invented. Or designed.
24. It can be colorful and decorative or it can be practical. Whichever.
25. Even those who claim to be un-creative can create something with a hook and something to use it on.

There! 25 reasons!
