Here's a great feel-good story if you're in need of one.

Jonah Larson taught himself how to crochet at age 5 by watching YouTube videos. Now 11, he has been described as a "crocheting prodigy." He has his own crochet business, called Jonah's Hands, based out of his home in La Crosse, Wisc.
........
Jonah regularly donates some of his goods and money to the Ethiopian orphanage from which he was adopted as an infant.
........
"After a very hard, busy, chaotic day in this busy world with school, it's just nice to know that I can come home and crochet in my little corner of the house while sitting by the one I love most: my mom," Jonah tells NPR.
........
His next goals: attending a crochet summer camp, attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and then becoming a surgeon.

6. Go check out speed crocheters on YouTube.

There are some people who can crochet so fast you can’t keep up. They are actually timed and have records. They have such good muscle memory and have done it for so long they seldom have to look at their work. My mom could crochet and talk and never miss a stitch.
