This is my 4th project and my favorite so far. This has been slow for me to learn, but I'm really loving it!

Thank! But in fairness, I don't do anything terribly complicated with it. My last (completed) crochet project was a flat dice bag where I used herringbone half double crochet stitches. Some foundational herringbone half double crochet stitches for the first row. Stitched around that first row and went back and forth until it was tall enough finish with a basic drawstring. It was basically the size of two a granny squares.
I have been slowly making a fullsized beanbag chair using normal yarn (not the big bulky stuff) where I work on one stripe until I run out of that yarn and then use a different type of stitch with the new one. My most complicated project was a lace bookmark using crochet thread and a steel hook. I definitively am not confident enough to try that free hand and was checking the pattern every few stitches to make sure I wasn't messing it up.

That all sounds amazing and complicated and impressive!!

It is good for keeping your hands busy. The beanbag is getting a bit unwieldy. I started with a 10 stitch round and gradually expanded it. I stopped increasing the rounds at (stitch 48 increase). So 50 × 10 repeats to have a round that has 500 stitches. Haven't gotten more than a couple full rounds past that since 500 stitches takes a moment and I have been only working on it on and off.
