intro post/ low spoons craft recommendations?

[matsushima]

Hi, everykindofcraft! I'm excited about this community because I am a "every kind of craft"-er! I love trying new crafts. Right now, I am teaching myself how to cross-stitch:My go-to, however, is always crochet:As much as I love crochet, it's hard on my hands - I have chronic pain and already require regular nerve block injections in my dominant hand to keep it functional. I tried cross stitch because I thought it might be easier on my thumbs/wrists.

What are your favorite low spoons crafts?

I also have hand problems and cross-stitch is great, but on larger things I have a standing frame to hold the fabric so I don't hurt myself. The only thing I have to watch out for is that the pinching action of holding a needle can set things off after a bit, but it's definitely not as dangerous as crochet!

Thanks! I love rainbow crochet because it looks nice but doesn't require much visual imagination or colory theory (both of which I lack). The blanket behind Paloma (the doll) is based on a picture book I'm querying!
