Be patient!

I have been knitting regularly for 13 years. I have made lots of things, and ripped out lots and lots of things. I have pieces I have made that are freaky shapes, and that's ok. You won't be punished for making something that isn't perfect.

That being said, if I teach you how to knit or crochet in person, don't get too frustrated if your hands don't work like mine. I have been doing this for a long time, and when you have experience you realize what works best for you and you find your rhythm.

The nice thing about this craft is that when you rip something up, you still have yarn and your instrument (hook or needles) and you can just start again. Nobody will know. With probably all other crafts, you have to get new stuff.

And you aren't going to figure it out in one evening. If you do, then you are a mastermind genius and I have some other things in my life that I would like you to come master.

Practice makes perfect with pretty much everything. So be patient and keep trying!
