Yunno what, maybe knitting aint so bad...
I have a bit of a long and frustrating history with knitting - I first tried to pick it up in secondary school, but found the movements hard and tension control difficult and gave it up. That happened about 6 more times, and ive never gotten the hang of it.
I started crocheting 3 years ago, and id gotten pretty good at it, but there are somethings that knitting just does better, and i decided to try knitting again. I went to my local yarn store for needles but, instead of getting the usual long ones, i saw a kids sized set of needles. They were really cute so i bought them, and OMG they make SO MUCH of a difference.
For context, i am a short woman, i probably havent grown since i was like 13/14, and im 23 now, and i had trouble controlling the big needles, but i didnt think the small ones would work so well! Maybe because theyre a similar length to crochet hooks? 🤔 idk, but i was finally able to make something without trying to stab someone! I looks really rough, ik, but im just glad it exists!!
So, maybe if youve been having chronic knitting troubles, try downsizing to a kiddy needle 🤷♀️ it worked for me
