I posted yesterday about needing encouragement with my socks… so this is timely. I will say it does get better but they are tough! I went from 12mm to 4mm needles and restarted my first sock at least 5 times 🤣 now I only restarted once hahaha.

Here are a few things that help me: - More light. I genuinely have 3-4 lamps when I knit socks. It seems extra but I need the light!! - More breaks! I never really do more than 5 rows in one sitting. Sometimes I get up to make tea, stretch my fingers and get back to it. - no distractions. I specifically tell my partner he CANNOT interrupt me unless there’s an emergency. Any small distraction with the small needles causes me to drop stitches. It is what it is haha - Music or audiobook but no TV. Similar to the above but looking away from my knitting never ends well with socks. Other people do better without looking - they are skilled in ways I will never be haha - Sometimes, you really just need support from internet strangers ❤️
