What skill would you like to learn?
I bought some lovely charcoal yarn about a year ago with the intention of learning to knit. That will be my next project. Before covid, I was going to a knitting class. Th leader got us started the first day and had us cast on and do a couple of rows. It looked easy enough, then she gave us an assignment. Bring a few rows to show our progress to the next class. I set to work as soon as I got home. My brain emptied. Bud and I got on a YouTube tutorial. He whipped out a few rows. My rows were deplorable.
I took his work when I went back to class. I couldn’t do diddly. When I ‘fessed up, she asked if he could come help with class. The next class was canceled due to covid.

I didn’t get knitting at first either. So i tried crochet, which made more sense to me. Couple years later, I tried knitting again with someone else, and it finally clicked! I believe in you :)

I plan to learn knitting for my next project. I went to your site but could not find a place to like, comment or follow. O am learning ke you. I don’t want to put a price on what I make. It seemslike it might feel like putting a price on my child. I gift them to friends and loved ones.

Thanks for letting me know about the like, comment, follow buttons. I need to play around with this wordpress a bit more, if I’m going to be a bit more active. I too gift my knitted goods to friends and loved ones but i don’t have many people around me who appreciate handmades tho.

One time I made a beautiful custom quilt for a coworker. She said,”Wow, I’ll bet you could get $50 for this” Never did that again.

oh dear… it’s unfortunate that most people are very unaware of how much time and cost goes into handmades. Too many people have told me I should try selling my handknits, not knowing that materials alone cost way more than they are will to pay for the item.

I think being coordinated helps.

Maybe you could pass the knitting to him and take up beer, sports, and car repair?

I know he’d be better at all of those.

I find myself in this same conundrum often. Is being bad at absolutely everything a skill?

Bud grew up in a house with 4 sisters. His fanily didn’t have a TV till he was about 15. His family listened to the radio at night. They quilted and played board games as a family. The family all helped with canning.
