Neck & Shoulder Heating Pad
Just like any job that requires you to sit for long periods, crocheting can put some strain on your neck and shoulders if you’re locked into that position for hours on end. The Pure Enrichment PureRelief Neck & Shoulder Heating Pad for $34.99 at Kohl’s is great to have on and wear while you’re crocheting for a long time.
Hand Cream
As we use our hands over and over again, they can get dry, and dry hands + yarn is a shiver-inducing feeling. That’s why we recommend the Soap & Glory Hand Food Hydrating Hand Cream - Original Pink Scent for $6.99. Perfect for hydrating your hands and doesn’t leave that weird sticky feeling like some lotions do.
Headphones & Speakers
Some people like to listen to music or their favorite podcast as they crochet just to keep sound in the room as they work, and you can either have a speaker playing your tunes out loud or bring out the headphones if you’re out in public, with other people, or you just want to be in your own little world.
If you’re not a fan of earbuds or like over ears better, then the Sony WH-CH720N Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones on sale for $128.00 at Amazon are a great choice for that noise canceling experience.
