[*]Use your fingers more than your eyes. Seriously. You won’t see the stitches, but you’ll feel them. Like finding Lego pieces in the carpet at 2am—somehow your fingers just know.
[*]Bigger needles help. I go up a size or two so I’m not squinting and cursing while pretending this is my “relaxing hobby.”
[*]Short rows = sanity. Don’t start with a big project. Make a teddy bear ear or a baby hat. Something that won’t make you question all your life choices.
[*]Deep breaths and snacks. Keep a cookie nearby. Every time you drop a stitch and can’t find it? Cookie. Self-care is important.
What are you trying to make with it? Maybe we can troubleshoot together before you turn it into stuffing for a throw pillow like I did that one time…
Thank you for positing!
