Heโ€™s more entertaining than knitting. It was the right trade off.

๐Ÿ˜‚ I feel that way about any twisted ribbing. It looks so good, but takes so long.

Iโ€™ll start, my biggest mistake is the same one almost every damn time: continuing to knit when I know the size is wrong. Too big, too small or the wrong needle. I can ignore the obvious for a long time.

What is your biggest crochet or knit mistake? ๐Ÿงถ

I feel like loud never equals knowledgeable. But then, Iโ€™m an introvert, of course I think that way. The pendulum will swing. Hopefully before too much and too many are damaged. There are hard days ahead. I wish we could have tea and chat.

Kudos for knitting with black. My tired eyes cannot handle it.

The Yarn Harlot once said, you can recognize a knitter because their hats, scarves and mittens wonโ€™t match. Iโ€™m fumbling the quote, but the gist sticks with me. We get distracted by the next shiny, new skein/colour/pattern. ๐Ÿงถ

Are you a matchy matchy maker or one who follows their muse?

In knitting and crochet (but also life and business) the loudest voice in the room rarely has the answers. What do we have to change to start hearing the introverts?
