Hey friends!

I've recently gone through a huge lifestyle change by moving out and far away from my parents and boyfriend.

Developing as a knitter, crafter, hobbyist of all things, I used Pinterest and Instagram for creative inspiration to get ideas for what I wanted to make next.

What are y'all using as a "magazine" or "lookbook" for ideas that isn't ad-ridden or AI slop?

Any great retro crafting books I should look into?

I just want authentic creative research.

**This does not have to apply to knitting. I am very receptive to learning a new hobby/craft!**

P.S. I crochet, knit, origami, sew, mold clay, sketch, embroider, etc.

TLDR: I need tips and advice for transitioning into a cubicle editing job where I keep making mistakes.

So I graduated with an English BA & MA. I am currently in an entry level editing job, and this is my first official job out of college.

I have been at the job for about 6 months, and I just proofread something I copyedited a month ago, and I found so many errors. There have been other moments where I'm finding lots of mistakes.

I took this job away from home and in a new city, and I've been extremely lonely and overwhelmed ever since the move.

I know that I can do this, but I can't help but feel less and less capable and qualified.

The transition from having a very active job with action all of the time to an extremely sedentary cubicle job has been extremely difficult. At the same time, I understand that there's a job to be done, and if I can't perform to the quality that I know I need to, I may need to make a career change.

Has anyone experienced this sort of situation or have any tips to help me focus or perform better? Any help or advice is much appreciated!!!!
