Thank you CMAT, all 100% true. It's depressing that this needs to be explained and repeated again and again. Everything is politics, including art, music, sport etc. โœŠ๐Ÿป

I'm really enjoying the circulars! ๐Ÿ˜ป There are definitely lots of tricks I need to learn but they are so comfortable to hold! #knitting #knitsky ๐Ÿงถ

I'm already so happy with them. I've just done a few rounds of basic stitches so far, not following any pattern , just so I can get the hang of it but already it feels great. I'm able to hold the yarn more comfortably too! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿงถ

To make themselves feel less awkward about actually addressing the issue or calling an illness by its name, it's a weird dance that we do , skirting around the elephant in the room. In my own experience, calling a thing by its name is often the better approach but it rarely happens.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’—

Thanks so much! I was absolutely gonna just go with the fuck it approach, but once I started pulling the yarn, I just couldn't stop, it feels kind of nice tbh! ๐Ÿ˜‚
I'm going to head to the yarn shop tomorrow and get myself a few accessories so I'll be ready next time. And thanks for the video! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿงถ

This has definitely been a learning moment but to be honest I don't mind, I need to know these things or else I'll never progress and I really want to be able to improve. I'm really enjoying it and the knitting community is so helpful! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿงถ
