I swore off knitting for 2 years after a bad scarf, my neighbor in Tulsa changed my mind in one sitting
I gave up on knitting after a lumpy scarf ate 4 months of my life back in 2023, and I told my 71 year old neighbor Ruth exactly that over coffee last Saturday on her porch in Tulsa. She laughed, handed me a skein of cotton yarn and her grandmother's metal needles, and said I had been fighting the yarn instead of letting it slide, then walked me through 3 rows and it finally clicked. So now I have to ask, what hobby did you quit too early before someone showed you the one small thing you had wrong?
What was the thing Ruth actually saw you doing wrong, the tension or the way you held the needles? I had a guitar teacher in Austin fix my strumming with one tip after I quit for a year.
