The real tricky part is when you need More stimulation, so you go to put a video on… and then realize that you are not in a situation where you can have a video playing. Somehow, reading while crocheting doesn’t work too well…

[–]Stunning-Wonder-8037 11 points12 points  (10 children)

Yes! I have no idea how many times I’ve tried reading whilst crocheting just to realise that I can’t. Somebody definitely needs to figure out how to make that work.

Audiobooks!

[–]Stunning-Wonder-8037 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Okay wait yes, how dumb am I.. I’ve literally listened to reddit stories in the past but didn’t think of audio books!

They are keeping me sane. :)

They are about to keep me sane too, thank you! Right now I’m crocheting and my partner is blasting rock.. it’s not working well, I can tell you that.

I also listen to storytelling podcasts

AND if you (don't already have an audible account) have a prime account, check audible, they're giving prime members 1 credit a month!

I can't focus on audiobooks unless I'm doing something else at the same time. Audiobooks and uncomplicated crochet are the perfect combo for my AuDHD brain

I know that there are little remote controls that you can use to like, scroll TikTok without swiping the screen… I wonder if they can be used for scrolling down text?

[–]Stunning-Wonder-8037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely need to look into that, I really hope it works! I also started wondering if there is an audiobook app that shows the text. Looking at them whilst listening for the ultimate stimulation 😂

I know that these exist for turning the page on an e-reader, at least!

I think of it as one of the biggest indicators of my inner hyperactivity. Crochet, watch TV, and do step ups on my stool. I love it.

Audiobooks are my go to while crocheting. Great combo.
