Crocheting is therapeutic. In the 16th century nuns taught the craft to their students and it became a recognised accomplishment of a high-born lady.
I ended up at Wal-mart late at night browsing through the craft aisles and inevitably drawn to all the cool yarns. These are great for quick projects, last minute gifts and using up small amounts of yarn that is leftover from previous projects. When you begin to crochet you start with a slip stitch on a hook.
It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes. Do a search online for some great patterns. You are then ready to begin your project with the step-by-step directions included in your crochet instructions.
It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends. There are free patterns, charts with crochet abbreviations used in patterns, charts for hook sizes, etc.
