How to Start Knitting (and Learn to Love It)

While I don't know how to knit, I do crochet from time to time, and would highly recommend it as a hobby / way to take a forced break. I'm currently two years into making a large blanket, and I love coming back to it every couple of months to make a foot or so of progress. I'll finish it eventually, I'm not in a rush!

For me, the repetitive nature of it is very therapeutic, and is similar to the benefit I get from highly repetitive games (which I like to play when I need to shut my brain off after work).
