Life lessons from crochet are not something I expected when I picked up a hook again after many years.
At first, I just needed a peaceful hobby ( it was COVID-19 time),a quiet space in my day.
But over time, crochet became something deeper. It helped me heal, reflect, and reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined.
As a citizen of Israel, I experienced a very stressful time since October 7th, and crochet was there for me every step of the process.
It’s even the reason I started my monthly crochet membership focused on creativity and personal growth.
Now, I see how powerful this craft can be for me, and for the women in my community who also turn to crochet for calm, connection, and clarity.

Life Lessons from Crochet: Why Frogging Isn’t Failure
One of the first big lessons crochet taught me?
Mistakes don’t mean you failed. They’re part of the process.
A missed stitch, a twisted row, a finished project that didn’t turn out the way you hoped, these are all invitations to slow down, reflect, and try again with grace.
It’s the same mindset I explore with members in our Frogging and Mindset workbook.
We talk about how ripping back a project isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning of doing it differently. That’s crochet wisdom in action in any area of life!
Crochet and Mindfulness for Women Over 50
After 50, I wanted more quiet in my life, more presence.
Crochet gave me that. It taught me to focus on the moment, on the gentle rhythm of each stitch. No pressure to be productive. Just time to be.
Many of the women in my membership say the same.
Crochet became their anchor during busy seasons or emotional transitions.
That’s why each month, our workbook includes reflective journal prompts to help members use their craft as a form of mindfulness.
How Creative Self-Care with Crochet Changed My Daily Routine
Before I called it self-care, crochet was simply what I did when I needed to feel better.
I’d sit down with my yarn, and for a few rows, the stress would quiet. I didn’t know at the time, but I was building a habit of creative self-care.
Now I help others do the same inside my membership.
Every month, we focus on small, doable projects and mindset work that nourish creativity and wellness, no guilt, no overwhelm.
