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?

Oh wow. What did you use for the doll-size crochet square?

I've gotten into kumihimi (Japanese braiding) and it's mostly shifting a circle around, moving threads from one slot to another, and untangling the ends. I wonder if that'd work okay for your hand.

The doll-sized square was worked up with some scrap yarn (probably Red Heart Super Saver because that's what I have the most of) and a 4mm hook. It's not what I'd use to make a doll-sized sweater but it worked best for the photo! The mini crochet hook Paloma is holding was part of a keychain set I found.

I think my mum has a kumihimo kit at home and I'm visiting family this summer, so I'll ask if I can try it!
