To the OP: cute hats! My GF crochets, she feels the same way about her projects, she likes small things because they go faster. She's got an afghan rug she's been working on for a long time but seems to have lost interest because it's so darn big and takes so much darn time. She prefers small bags, hats, and scarves. She's planning on picking up knitting this year

I like little projects I can do with my hands, I'm actually kind of surprised I haven't picked it up myself. At the moment my "crafty" stuff has been doing homemade fishing lures. I can sit in front of the TV and catch up on House/Heroes/Weeds/True Blood, with my utility knife and a piece of wood. Later I go out fishing!
