The most complex thing I have ever tried to learn...Knitting!

article image placeholderUploaded by @DearAuntyAng
I bought knitting needles and crochet hooks that I went to, I think Joann fabrics, and I bought all this yarn. I literally, because I remember when I gave it away to a person, I had like a trash bag full of yarn to give away. But I had all this yarn because I'm gonna be, you know, different colors and gonna weave in some sparkle and all of that stuff

Loom Knitting Has BEEN the Best!!!

Hi, Anne. I love this swell of yours because before 2018, I never understood knitting. In fact, when I saw people knitting with the needles or crocheting, I wondered the exact same thing. I said, how is this relaxing? How are they able to take this yarn and make dolls and scarves and hats? It is way too complex. Let's not even get started with pattern reading, okay? As far as looking at the diagrams, I cannot do that

Hi, Erica. Thank you so much for chiming in and sharing. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that, right, because knitting is supposed to be so comfortable. I mean, so comfortable, so relaxing. I'm like I'm missing something. So I'm glad I'm not the only one. And thanks for sharing about the loom

The pictures that I showed before, those are actual headband ear warmers that was made on a loom. And I never imagined in a million years that I can make anything using yarn but knitting with the needles. I would love to master that, to do that, but I just don't have the mind for it

Hey, Erica. Good morning. Yes. I just noticed that the picture you sent was not actually of a loom. I didn't open it last night. I didn't, like, click on it to expand the picture. So when I saw the styrofoam head, I think I assumed that was a loom. So thank you for letting me know this time I expanded the picture. I'm like, oh, wait, that's a styrofoam head

Hi, Ann. I love your theories. And I included a picture of some of the looms that I use that I bought off of Amazon. But your theories are spot on, actually, because I realized when we were younger, time seemed to go by slow
