Rec'd on 🧶 KNITTING TIPS?
DONT HOLD THE TENSION SO TIGHT
i had this problem going from crochet to knitting you just gotta be a bit loose with it - i think knitting benefits from looseness in a way that crochet doesn’t ! also you can fix dropped stitches reaaaally nicely with a crochet hook if you didn’t know that already :-)

thanks!! when i was first attempting last night I noticed that it turned out better when I was loose with it but its a weird adjustment from crochet lol. I didn‘t know that about the dropped stitches and I started over a few times because I thought there was no fixing it 😭 thank you again

knitting is rough but once you learn how tight to have your stitches it works out
you also might have a hard time bc knitting can take longer than crocheting. i personally learned to knit first and then crochet, which i bet is easier than learning to crochet first then knit. regardless, good luck!

Crochet
I find it easier than knitting for some reason, but if knitting is your bag, then go with that. I just love turning my brain off and crocheting while I watch tv or listen to a podcast!!!! If you have the problem that I do where you need to have something to do w your hands while you sit still (lol) (needing to be productive while relaxing) (aka ADHD) this is great. And bonus you get a new sweater or hat or blanket when you’re done!

Learning to crochet
Faster than knitting, also easier to learn. I prefer to knit on a machine anyway. With crochet, a lot of the magic is in its flexibility of the stitches. How magical!

friendships based around rituals
I love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two. E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards. I like this approach to friendship in general because it’s less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.
