I CROCHETED EVERY MORNING for 30 DAYS and it CHANGED my LIFE

[@paulaporcelli2532]

I am retired so I’m in my happy place all day. I knit, crochet and machine embroider any time during the day. But you are so right, I have so much more clarity in the morning. Thanks for these wonderful videos, they are very inspiring.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you! I was so surprised about feeling so mentally clear in the morning! 🧶☕️❤️☀️

[@chattingwithu]

Exactly the same here! I can finally do whatever craft I want any time of the day I want! I am so grateful for all of the wonderful patterns out there that make creating so much fun!

[@dioniciawebster9957]

I was fortunate enough to “retire” at the age of 50 and I must say I do not regret it, Every day is Saturday and I can enjoy crochet any time of the day!

[@sherrimartin1543]

Me too.

[@laurastansbury5721]

Me too have all day.. and lately I'm on a roll. 🎉

[@mossy_hollow_creations]

I’m a retired teacher turned homeschool mom. I enjoy the slower mornings and crochet in the morning while listening to some of my favorite KZbinrs (usually biblical teachings) and in the evening after dinner. My problem is that sometimes I don’t want to stop crocheting and I am either getting a late start on homeschool lessons with my 14 year old or going to bed really late! 😝 self- discipline is hard!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much for sharing! And self discipline is soooo hard!! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@fromage1234]

loved your video about this. I started crocheting in the morning about 6 months ago, because of a very stressful time at work. Work has changed, but I kept the routine, as it's very enjoyable, and I get so much done! 😊💟

[@TCMedicare101]

I'm a combo crocheter....but then, my project for this year was to make a blanket for every one in our families for Christmas. I made 11 blankets. My goal was to be finished by Halloween so that the holidays would be free of the stress of finishing up the last one on Christmas eve, LOL. I'm happy to report that I completed the last one 3 weeks early, so yes, I was crocheting every spare moment outside of my full time job. And I'm so happy that I did. As I was finishing that project, work announced that we'd have a charity event for our local homeless shelter for the holidays. I was able to make 9 hats for that collection that was picked up last Tuesday. I'm tickled pink to know those recipients will be kept a little warmer just as our winter weather is beginning (It snowed on Halloween here in Michigan). I can attest to the creativity and productivity being higher in the morning for me, too, as compared to the evenings, after my brain has been hard at work all day.

[@judipierry549]

Bravo You! When I grow up (I’m only 64 😉) I want to be just like you, without the full time job. 🙂

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wow!!!! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@nicolebrittain2677]

Between work and going back to college for my bachelor’s degree as an adult learner, crochet keeps me sane! It is my happy place and it relaxes me. I taught myself at the beginning of the pandemic and I wish I had started crocheting years ago. I carry a project with me to work and and crochet for a bit before I go into the building!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! Sounds like you are very busy! But I'm so glad you discovered crochet to help with stress!! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@judipierry549]

Welcome to the hookers club! I hope you keep the skill for life, even if you take several hiatuses when life gets busy , it is always there when you come back. ❤️

[@kaelynfugitt1619]

I usually start with reading my bible at 8:00am and then go do breakfast coffee and things like that I will either do school or start crocheting later this is amazing and I think I'm the first comment 💗

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🧶☕️☀️

[@mae13gaming]

That's amazing!

[@J.GriffingLures]

I love your videos! I drive a truck for a living and I have always been a morning person. I crochet every morning for about an hour! I have only been crocheting for a few months but since I started, I haven't skipped a day! I find it very relaxing and enjoyable!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's amazing! ❤️

[@annettebelway3813]

I am a morning person, usually up anywhere between 4 and 6 AM. Our 2 dogs are the first thing on the agenda and then I get to enjoy my time of uninterrupted stitching until around 9:30 AM, when my husband gets up (we are retired :). I completely agree with you that the art of knitting or crocheting, or any stitching really, is meditative and even healing. I think its effects are probably on the same level as praying. Thank you so much for your infectiously enthusiastic and informative videos! 🌹

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wow!! I wish I was up that early! Right now I can't seem to get up any earlier than around 6:30. Thanks so much for sharing your routine! 🧶🧶🧶

[@dasheast1]

I crochet right after lunch after my husband goes back to work. I give myself an hour, from 1 to 2 and then I’m ready to get busy again with my chores! Great video, interesting!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@mlolvera91]

I’ve been dying to crochet or knit the minute I wake up, and idk why I didn’t think it was an activity I could do in the mornings. I can definitely see it helping me the way it helps you! What a no brained 😅

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It's been great to be able to do it in the morning!! 🧶🧶☀️

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

I'm knitting 🧶 Now 😊..a slouchy hat, next, a balaclava 😊👍🏾

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@debbiestuckey6599]

I'm a combination of all 3...I crochet or knit in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with breaks here and there. I'm an empty nester and have always been a stay-at-home mom. I also deal with anxiety, and crafting helps to calm me! ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@Ducttapeanddenim]

I’m an evening crocheter. It’s how I relax my brain at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I am retired but so busy. I like the idea of getting up early enough to have half hour bible time and half hour crochet time. I think I will try this for 30 days, thanks

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's great! It really works well for me! Let me know after your 30 days how it worked for you! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@nmikulics]

Whenever I can!! On breaks at work, before I take the kids to school/the nanny's, if I get off work early, but the only time it's guaranteed is when I sit down with the hubs after the kids go to bed. ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@peace4harmony787]

I'm an afternoon/evening crocheted - I absolutely love crocheting. It is my heart's passion .

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It really is wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶

[@marthacervantes3706]

Love your videos! The only time that I have time to crochet is in the morning while my husband and I pray. We do different prayers and while he holds the rosary beads, I crochet. I have made my family scarves, blankets and other items with much prayer. Thank you for sharing your God given talent. God bless.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻🧶❤️

[@robinpearson9153]

I'm the same way about my bed, lol. There's just something peaceful about crawling into a nice made up bed at night!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes!!! It feels wrong to me to get into an unmade bed! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@rmullins9596]

Morning is my quite time, with soft Tony O'Conner CD playing, and I crochet happy away. My motto! in my quite time !!!! I Pray As I Crochet'!! To Start My Day !!! Love to watch ur videos, so happy to hear you've found the secret to start your day !!!!! ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing how you start your day with crochet too! 🧶🧶🧶

[@tammygood253]

This is so inspiring Elise! I'm so happy you've been able to increase your productivity, because THAT MOUSE!!! OMG, she is so precious! You did a fabulous job on her! I love every single minute of this video.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you soooo much! My plan is for the mouse video and tutorial to be ready by next Saturday! 🧶❤️☕️☀️🐭

[@kimberlyferguson3277]

I had to laugh when you were describing making your bed...I thought I was the only person that made their bed before getting in to it at night, if it had gone undone all day. 🤣 I had also added 30 minutes to my morning routine recently - I had challenged myself to include 30 minutes each of bible study, reading for pleasure, a walk and crocheting. Self discipline has always been a struggle for me, I could get everything done that was needed but there was not much joy or fun while I did it. After 2 months of this I find that I have less stress and my creativity is back. Crocheting has always given me joy and crocheting everyday makes my heart sing. Thank you for your inspirational talks.💕

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@karenanddan]

This is such a timely video for me! I started a full-time job last week after being home for 4 years, and at 53, I'm just too tired in the late evening now to crochet. I'm still working on my new morning and evening routines, so I'm gonna give this a try. Thank you.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Congratulations on the new job! And it sounds like crocheting in the morning will be a great time for you! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@ForKnFifties]

I'm almost 53! I haven't worked for two years can't find a job or One that isn't gonna hurt my ailments more.. considering school but I'm enjoying crochet at the moment.. good luck in your job

[@patsyweiss9092]

I crochet all the time. Well, not right now because I’m recovering from hand surgery. I so enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Oh! I hope you feel better soon! 🧶🧶☀️☕️

[@GinnySmith700]

The mouse is sooo cute. I usually crochet in the morning and later in the afternoon.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@emrooker]

Here I am crocheting in the morning, listening to your video. I’m a morning person and I always leave assembling Amigurumi to the morning when I’m fresh. But I crochet after work in the evenings the parts. I do leave my area prepared for the next day so I’m ready to go. I like your mouse! Very cute!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing how you crochet different things in the morning and a night! Very interesting! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@sandygrogg1203]

Good morning!! I am definitely a morning person. Yes whatever I need to get done isn’t done by say 2 o’clock you just won’t get done. I am retired, so my time is pretty much my own. Actually, I CROCHET at all times of the day, but always start my day with some crochet or knitting. I keep a small project in my bed. I love all the little critters you so lovingly create. They are so cute, and so sweet, and so much fun that they always make me smile. It’s wonderful to see your enthusiasm for the little guys. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us as, as well as your tips and other information. I especially enjoy hearing you talk about the various crochet hooks, and what you like, or dislike about each one. I love my tulips. And my clovers, the best. I have four oddessys, but I don’t seem to use them very much. That’s probably because I have child size. Hands in the odyssey hooks are pretty big. But, they really are nice. Wishing you a wonderful new year… I hope all of your planning is worth it. I am a very solid.INFP on the Myers Briggs personality disorder, so planning is something I’m not really very good at. I always forget. Oh well, to each his own.❤❤❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much for sharing!! Happy New Year!! 🎆

[@dragonmaster5983]

Hi Elise! I crochet/knit any time during the day where I can fit it in, but like the idea of a set morning routine. I'll have to set a 30 minute timer because once the hook/needles start going, time just flies. Great video and great suggestions.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes! I set a timer as well! It's easy to get caught up playing with yarn and the time passes too quickly! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@angaramacrafts8564]

VERY HELPFUL!!! Im a morning crocheter. My brain is most clear and calm in the mornings. Thanks for sharing!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That is something I never thought would work for me! But I feel so much clearer in the morning too! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@angaramacrafts8564]

Thanks for your reply :-) this may be oversharing but in September I lost my husband and then in October I lost my brother whom I was very close with and now I am trying to get a procedure to fix two compression fractures in my low back. Needless to say crochet has truly helped me get through the extended hours sitting on ice and focusing on it instead of the overwhelming grief. I am thankful everyday for KZbinrs so positive like you as well as my family around me. God bless you and your family XOXO Ang

[@herlastvoyage]

Sounds like a rough year. Love and peace to you❤

[@katiezimmerman8650]

Dear Elise, Wonderful food for thought. I love crochet morning, noon and night. Laundry, cleaning, Mass, grandchildren are all sprinkled in my day too, oh my husband too. Looking forward to your groom pattern, mouse too but more groom😂

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you!! The mouse pattern is coming out next week 🤞 Then I have the duck pattern that is ready to have the final touches and then the groom!! I'm sorry it has taken me so long!!! 🧶☕️❤️☀️

[@sjferguson]

Isn't the human brain amazing! Just a small tweek in our routine can have such an impact. I've always been a morning person but due to my work schedule I can't really get any crochet time in until the evening but what I'd like to do is experiment with this concept on the weekends and see if I get similar results. Your new little mouse is adorable!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It really is!! Switching up my morning routine was truly eye opening! I hope your experiment goes well! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

What a beautiful scene! ❤️🧶☀️☕️

[@beckypettengill7576]

Lol... and i thought I was the only person that woke up to craft ;) I have been a single mom for many years. And one of the best things about that for me is being able to simply wake up and reach for my knitting that I keep right next to my bed and knit EVERY SINGLE MORNING and not worrying about waking anyone up! I am still working in the corporate world. But I still set my alarm early enough (5:15 AM 😮!) every day so I do have a few minutes to knit before getting ready for the work day because it DOES help my stress and sense of accomplishment for the rest of the day. I am so glad that it works for you too. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. I am truly a believer in this!!!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's so wonderful!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@mdaly23md]

I can crochet all day and have done so my whole life.

[@dawnclayberger688]

I just adore you and your videos. I have to tell you that I am a seasoned crocheted. My grandmother 👵 taught me how to crochet and embroider at the age of 7. I have enjoyed this art form all my life. I am crocheting all the time. The only time I am not crocheting is if I am sleeping, working, gardening or bathing...I am crocheting. I have also found joy in crocheting in the morning before I start working. ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@7pawr7]

For the last 3-4 weeks I crochet at work for the last 30 minutes of my lunch, and it’s been really grounding for me

I'm so glad you've noticed the same results! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@christinewheeler6443]

I love your channel! I work at night, so my " morning" is at night when I get up for work. I get to work about 45 minutes before I need to be there so that I can crochet or knit before I punch in. I also use both of my breaks at work to crochet or knit...When I get home from work, I do a little more and then get to my housework...I'm usually in bed by 3 in the afternoon, but I get about 30 minutes of crafting while watching a youtube video before sleep....thank you for all you do...❤❤❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@roos7631]

This video came at the perfect time! I was just thinking about my morning routine this morning, which doesn't really excist at the moment due to a weird week and a vacation the week before. A while ago I started reading for 15 minutes in the morning, and I really want to incorporate that again, because it didn't really happen the last weeks and I feel that my brain loves reading the most in the morning. I'm just to tired to read before going to bed.😅 I think I'm gonna start adding 20 minutes of sock knitting in the morning. I have a couple of socks I'm so exicted to make, but also have some other garment wips and plans, so the socks don't get a lot of work. Because during my knitting time in the day and evening, those garments get my attention. Especially with the colder weather, those big garments are great on my lap. And I don't sit in the same place every morning, so socks are great and portable for that😂 And I get the bedmaking thing, I'm the same. But from the video I couldn't see if you let air out your bed. I alsways learned to wait at least 30 minutes with the window open before making your bed and adding the extra cushions etc. So maybe making the bed after the 30 minutes of crocheting?😊

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Sounds like a great plan! And I haven't heard of airing out the bedding before!!! I will have to try that! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@roos7631]

@@EliseRoseCrochet It really helps with a nice, crisp and fresh feeling. I don't know if it's proven to have real benefits, or if it's only in my head. But I think it's great☺

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Haha! Me too! 😅

[@CoachEricaKouri]

I love this Elise! I usually save my crocheting for nights and weekends but I am certainly excited to add 30 min of crochet to my morning routine! Thank you 💜

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! I have found it to be such a relaxing way to start the day! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@hannibody7438]

Thank you Elise, for giving me permission for some crotchet time in the morning! I often get the urge and have ideas in the morning but feel that it is a guilty pleasure and push the thought aside. I was brought up to think that you get your work done and then you can ‘play’ but then run out of energy, time or focus for the thing I would otherwise enjoy. While ‘work first play later’ may have merit to some extent, just taking 30 minutes with a cuppa when I would otherwise be waking up and struggling to get motivated is almost guilt free😁. Thank you so much for this liberating permission - this is one thing I think I can do for myself without too much self-recrimination👍

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I'm so glad it helped you to give yourself permission!! 🧶🧶🧶

[@nancyhammons3594]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has to have the bed made before I get in at night, but having lived in the south and Perto Rico, I check the bed for bugs too. I've been able to retire and it's only my husband and I with two cats in the house, so most of the day is mine. I have seen many of your videos, and you have given me the inspiration to try amigurumi. Thank you for that.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶

[@rioseven7306]

I believe what you are talking about when you refer to a morning routine is called “habit stacking!” My friend was teasing me recently about how I always crochet when I wake up while I drink my coffee and have breakfast. I always have to have a project that is working out before I go to bed so I can crochet in the morning without worry. Or sometimes I save a crochet issue for the morning for a rested brain.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes! I recently finished the book Atomic Habits and the author used that term too! 🧶🧶🧶

[@rustievian8634]

I crochet at work. I work tech support overnight and it helps me stay up.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's great!!! I'm so glad you're able to crochet during that time! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@kimmysweet]

That mouse is too cute. Since I work full time I cant really crochet in the mornings, but I sometimes will bring a project to work with me and work on it during my lunch break. Then when I get home I take a min and then get back into doing some other projects. On my days off I definitely crochet in the morning, once I let the dog out, feed the pets, make a tea or a coffee, then sit down and have a nice morning session. If the weather is bad out I will pretty much stay inside all day and crochet, taking little breaks and just being all cozy.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! ☀️🧶❤️

[@beverlyb5144]

[@deborahhamsho4799]

I agree first thing morning and last thing night. The days are too hectic as a retired married lady. I have projects bedside, in the morning reflections and reading Quran area, in the sunroom and upstairs in the stitching area looking out to backyard. So no excuses. I crochet wherever and whenever.

[@KDfromMI]

Elise, you are a genius! I have a full time job, but have been working at home (remotely) for months. Since I started that, I have built about 30 minutes into my morning routine for skimming the news and catching up on my social media - things I could do more sporadically during the work day. I’m now going to convert that time for knitting/crocheting. Thank you so much for the inspiration! I love your channel and all your tips and helpful advice. Happy crocheting!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It's pretty amazing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@annaknitter]

I had three big blanket wips going for several years and wanted to finish them. In 2023 I decided to dedicate the first 30 minutes of crafting I do on that day (typically in the morning) on on of the blankets. When it was done I took the next blanket. I was shocked how much progress I made. I calculated that I need the entire year to finish all three projects but I was done by June. It was amazing!

[@angelaporch2984]

I crochet whenever I can. I am going to try this and see what happens. I work from home so I can take 30 minutes in the morning. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait for the mouse to come out. Hugs to you and your family and the kitties

[@barbraw-backtoeden7419]

I have been a crocheting machine this past few months and now I see why I have been so creative , also with my macrame as well. It definitely makes sense that it reduces stress and calms nervousness too 😊. I absolutely love it.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It really is wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶

[@bethknapp4935]

I keep all of my supplies in my living room next to my spot on the sofa, I start after my first cup of coffee and go until I need a break. I'll do chores in between, then continue. This is my routine on my days off from work, unless I have errands. But starting in the morning has been amazing, and I make so much more progress on my projects. The added bonus is that my hands are fresh and ready to go in the morning. I have some hand pain, so starting fresh in the morning allows me to get more done. ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Good point about your hands being fresh! 🧶🧶🧶

[@ruthwathen6876]

Being a retired nurse I start my mornings by opening my curtains while my tea is brewing then sit down with my hook and yarn to watch my morning show. I make easy corner to corner blankets for charity. I can tell how stressed I am by how fast I crochet.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! And yes, crochet speed is a stress barometer! 🧶🧶🧶

[@skeinofadifferentcolor2090]

I am definitely an all times of the day crocheter. I will do it in the morning with my first cup of coffee, after I put our youngest down for a nap, at night, and if I can't sleep then I will work on projects well into the night. Because of my autoimmune issues I can't crochet longer than 2hrs at a time without my arms flaring up. I really enjoyed this video!

Hello I try and crochet in the morning pre breakfast and definitely in the evening Sometimes in the afternoon I have recently posted a video on my (small) channel about the benefits of crochet so totally agree with you

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@gracetutt768]

I’ve been crocheting for almost 53 years. I have other hobbies but crocheting is my passion. Crocheting has literally kept me sane through some of the toughest times in my life. I love it.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes. It's amazing how it helps you get through tough times! 🧶🧶🧶

[@kerriestuckey610]

OMG Yes, bed must be made before you can get into at night. Glad I am not the only one who makes it at night if it gets missed in the morning🤣🤣

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Lol!! It's a weird thing to do, but I have to!! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@sandibraus6367]

I am a morning person and love getting up, making coffee and picking up my crochet project. Problem is sometimes I sit here for 2-3 hrrs. I lie the idea of just 30 minutes so I can get up and get moving with my day! Thank you

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's why I have to set a timer for myself! 🧶🧶🧶

[@ruthdennisKnits]

I’m retired so I crochet with my morning coffee, I crochet after getting dressed and I crochet until lunch. Then it’s time to do whatever lose needs to be done - housework, shopping, or knitting or fiddling with the houseplants 🧶🌵😎

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Sounds like a dream! 🧶🧶🧶

[@partyfiesta1557]

I am way productive at night. Always have. But I enjoy crocheting at all times! The more the better! I haven’t been doing any crochet this week (was making a quilt top) and I feel a need to go back to it very soon ❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@kateworkman921]

On the weekends, I'm a "crochet any time of day I dang well please" crocheter. I'll set myself up with KZbin videos and sit there for hours, crocheting/taking breaks. The weekdays, because I work, I leave it till I get home, so it's a late afternoon/evening thing. One, I don't want to wake up earlier, and two, I'd get too into a project and be late for work if I tried crocheting in the mornings on work days, lol!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing, Kate! I have a hard time justifying crocheting unless I've designated it "crochet" time. I don't know why! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Good morning 🌄 blessings awesome 👍🏾

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you and Good Morning! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@alidalane6447]

First I had to laugh out loud when you said you can’t get into an unmade bed! I thought I was the only one 🤣. I love to crochet when I can. I’m retired so it’s my therapy to pick up my yarn and hooks as I sip a cuppa🫖☕️❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@lilsuzie193]

I can't get into an unmade bed either. I have to make my bed up before I can sleep in it. Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone.😅

[@normaramirez8127]

I will crochet any chance I get 😊 and I’m a morning person so I will try it … thank you for your advice 😊

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@lorihuff6702]

I'm disabled, so retirement a few years early. I get up at least by 8. Do things around the house. I try to stitch by 9, but if not, I do a small project in the TV room as I watch my soaps. Then maybe off and on during the day. By evening I will pull out a c2c graphgan or a bitter project and try to crochet for several hours. If my hands are tired or I can't focus, I will roll up bobbins of yarn or plan out my next project and get it ready.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing your crochet routine! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@tishalloween6696]

I’m a morning and afternoon crocheter bc that’s when I feel most alert. I can’t wait for the mouse pattern 🐭

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! And the mouse pattern and tutorial should be out next Saturday! 🧶❤️☀️☕️🐭

[@BonnieHorigan]

Sounds good. I need a routine. I have chaos here in the Carolina mountains

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I'm so enjoying crocheting in the morning! ☀️❤️🧶

[@LittleLlamaCrochet]

Wonderful video! I enjoy crochet in the morning and find it peaceful, but I loved hearing about all of the positive benefits from making it a daily habit. I want to try :) Have a good one

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I was surprised at all the benefits of crocheting in the morning too! 🧶☀️❤️☕️

[@letyreyna6511]

thanks for vid pretty lady. I do morning and evening. sometimes inbetween . be safe

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much for sharing! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@stacythrush3950]

My morning routine always includes some crochet time. I get myself ready for work, take care of my dog then sit down and crochet for about 30-45 minutes then go to work. I usually crochet in the evenings as a way to wind down. I find if I don’t get my crochet time in the morning I feel rushed and a little crabby lol!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing your morning routine! It really does start the day off on the right foot! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@CGM52]

Thanks to your wonderful videos, I’ve now got back into crocheting that has given me peace of mind and a great deal of happiness.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

Knitting for me is essential - it helps me relax. I knit as soon as I am able in the mornings ( before and after Breakfast)... then I knit in spurts through the morning, afternoon and evening in between house duties. I really love how it helps to keep me relaxed!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful to have so much time to crochet! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

@@EliseRoseCrochet I actually cannot Crochet worth a flip... I am far better at Knitting.

[@wookori]

Love this! I absolutely hate mornings, but I am inspired to give it a shot!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I used to feel that way and now I love mornings! ☀️☀️☀️

[@premieryarns]

WOW Elise! What a tremendous and inspiring video! As a lifelong artist, a 50+ year knitter, and a crocheter for just one year, I agree that our brains are most creative in the morning! It is also wonderful to have a creative incentive to get out of bed in the morning!!! Thank you for sharing this fabulous experience!!!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much, Michele! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️

[@HelensStudio54]

Loved this video. This is something I have been doing for some time. I am an early morning riser (6am) so I make my morning coffee and sit with my crochet project and work for an hour or so before doing anything else. It's my morning meditation. My memory, concentration, and energy levels are best in the morning. By evening Im too tired. What I also love about crocheting early morning is the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. I find it easier to get into the creative zone when there is no noise or interruption. Crochet has been amazing for my mental health and anxiety. It's a form of therapy for me.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! It is a form of therapy for me as well! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@Sue_WWeb24]

I usually crochet in the evenings after work, but thinking a short am session may be helpful and more consistent. I find that I don’t pick it up every day and then you’re right, I forget where I’m at and takes me forever to figure it out, especially on a project I’ve never done before which makes me more frustrated and less likely to pick it up. Thanks for the little nudge!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I hope it works well for you! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@darcypalmer7783]

Like you, I always make my bed in the morning, or I will make it right before I get in it at night. Can't sleep in an unmade bed! I love the quote about creativity in the morning. I know I have to do things in the morning if they are really going to get done, but I never applied that to crocheting. Lately, I've been crocheting less and less, partly due to the pain in my hands (arthritis). I'm going to try to crochet in the morning and see how that goes! Thanks for the great tips.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@chattingwithu]

I crochet mostly and knit as well. But I have always loved sewing small projects. I think I will try taking 30 minutes every morning to sew specifically because not only do I already know that I will spend the day crocheting or knitting but this way I will be certain to get in a little sewing which brings me so much peace with that needle and thread in hand! Thank you!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's a wonderful idea! Enjoy your sewing time! 🪡🧵

[@peggyharwell3674]

What a great revelation. I so glad you have found a more productive schedule for yourself. I like to pick up the hook and yarn around 5ish. It is dark outside, the cat, Skittles, is ready to be fed , and i feel so energized. Your mouse is so adorable. Im calling him Maynard. Can't wait to watch your tutorial on him, and purchase the pattern. Blessings.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

What a cute kitty cat name!! 🧶❤️☕️☀️

[@laurengomersall9692]

I crochet all day n have to remember to take breaks this video was great great routine

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I totally get it! 🧶❤️☀️☕️

[@historybuff7491]

I need to take medicine first thing in the morning. That part is easy, but then I have to wait about an hour before eating. I usually have things to do but I noticed (repeatedly) that it was hard to wait. I became quite stress waiting the hour out --cheated often -- which affected the rest of my day. I found by working on knit or crochet, the hour flew by. So, I do a few other things, in the morning, and then pick-up my project...it is about 30min of crochet or knit. I agree, it has improved my day.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That is wonderful! I'm so glad you've found a way to make that time in the morning pass quickly! ❤️🧶☕️☀️

[@angelabah7725]

Hi I work from 2 till 8 in the afternoon so I crochet before work in the morning . This sets me up for the afternoon at work . Then I typically crochet in the evening as well . I really look forward to my crochet sessions xx

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶

[@theresaburg5881]

I try to crochet in the morning and evening. I find it helps me relax. Love that mouse and can't wait to see the pattern in your shop.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you! The mouse pattern and tutorial should be out next Saturday! 🧶❤️☀️☕️🐭
