I'm still beginning to knit so I still have to look at my needles when knitting so I can't really watch stuff yet while knitting.. but I listen to true crime a lot. Hopefully I can get better soon so I can watch my kdramas while knitting.
I like to listen to gossip novels and read idol novels when knitting.
I watch usually a show I’ve seen before as it’s usually just background noise
I tend to listen to gameplay streams or ttrpg streams/podcasts :)
Something where the visuals aren't so important I get a needle in my thumb lol

me too, I like to watch Twitch gaming, sometimes I stuck to a gamer for hours while crafting and get asked hello who are you? u are watching so long now and not talking to me? (they see who is watching them for how long) especially when they are low viewers streams, I then say sorry Im busy crafting and cant write in the chat and they reply oh okay (what a weirdo ?)…there are also many crafting streams on twitch, so you can actually craft with someone together...otherwise of course the DJ music streams are also great (if electronic techno is your thing)
otherwise audiobooks, podcasts or yt videos (paranormal, horror, travel, reddit real life stories)
recently we got a new TV with streaming TV is included, I love to watch the travelxp channel for hours, they show non-stop indian produced travel reports with different destinations and topics, just perfect background while crafting...the unsolved mysteries channel (true crime from the 80s/90s) is also great
Oh honey, now that’s a good question—because let me tell you, the background entertainment is half the fun! When I’m crocheting, I like to have something going that keeps me company without distracting me so much I start crocheting a hat when I meant to make a potholder. ?Most days, I’ll put on one of those cozy British mysteries—you know the kind, where someone gets bonked on the head with a candlestick, but there’s no blood and everybody still makes tea afterward. Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, or Miss Marple—love ‘em all. And if I’m in more of a silly mood, I’ll turn on those old sitcom reruns. Golden Girls is my go-to. Those ladies knew how to dish out a one-liner like nobody’s business!Sometimes, I’ll listen to an audiobook or a podcast too—especially the ones where people just chat about everyday life or tell old ghost stories. Something about that while you’re stitching along just feels like sitting on the porch with a friend.Of course, when the grandkids are over, I end up watching whatever animated nonsense they love that week—and somehow still manage to get a row or two done in between snack requests and Lego catastrophes. ?
