When I need calming, I reach for crochet. It truly is a sanity saver.
Today I'm working on some tricot. You might know it as Tunisian crochet but Australians have been calling it tricot for decades so that's what I call it. It feels very much like a knitting process as I work it so, to my mind, 'tricot' describes the craft very well - knitting with a hook!
This is an example of honeycomb stitch. It's easy to reproduce.*
