I never, ever thought I would say this, but on my nice trek across town today, I did find 5 excellent reasons why crochet is/was better for me today.
1. It takes up less space on the bus, and people are not horrified to sit beside me.
2. The crochet hook cannot punch a hole in my purse like my knitting needles did last week.
3. I was able to finish an entire adult hat in single crochet in one journey across town.
4. When the needle falls out of the work you only have to pick up one stitch.
5. I can impress complete strangers with my speedy work like some kind of crafty super hero.
But if anyone asks, I never said any of this.
