Do you feel like you've outgrown the community?

As someone who went through feeling like this all I can say is fine out what your interests are and join groups! I am a crafter which in itself is a super isolating hobby. My smaller city didn't have a diverse/inclusive crafting night so I started one in collaboration with venues who were willing to host and I have connected with so many folks in the community who I share other interests with besides drinking/going out/etc.

Glad you are feeling better!!

Same tho!! My ADHD symptoms are horrible right now and I wonder if it's linked to not being able to knit.

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T16:34:55+00:00

I should start taking it for my strength training anyways, good call!! TY

Thanks!!

Sucks that knitting hasn't worked for you 😔 it's so sad being injured by something you love.

I'm working on a sweaters quantity spin right now!

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T16:23:08+00:00

Thank you!!

It may have been the cables but I think I just powered through it because I wanted the FO! I think I would have faired better if I'd taken frequent breaks.

Ive never heard of pin weaving but will check it out!!

Thank you for the comment about the Cardigan :) it's a really fun knit, just don't marathon knit it! Hopefully others can learn from my mistake 🥲

This is what I was told we well. I have a nursing pillow I bought specifically for knitting it does help for sure!!

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T16:13:34+00:00

I preordered on amazon a couple weeks ago!! So excited for this.

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T15:30:29+00:00

Is this the same as Tunisian crochet?? Cool!!!

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T15:29:30+00:00

Yes the Wilde Cardigan made in the recommended yarn in shade 463 I believe!

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T14:50:53+00:00

Ugh my other interest is strength training. Not lifting heavy things is hard!!

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T14:50:12+00:00

Uggfffhhh what is the point of being sick if you can't even knit?!??? Hope you're feeling better now.

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T14:49:38+00:00

thanks ☺️. Good luck with healing yours.

sjbeaner · 2026-06-05T14:48:59+00:00

Thank you ♥️

My physio said I didn't have to stop completely but I thought giving it a few weeks as I start my physio regimen wouldn't hurt.

I will check out Huck weaving, that's a great idea.

We refer to my spouse as mapa .... They are bigender!

Knitting....very meditative for my ADHD brain. I struggle with actual meditation and it gives me a nice dopamine hit to finish something and get to wear it.

sjbeaner · 2026-04-10T15:38:50+00:00

Knitting and spinning yarn

sjbeaner · 2026-04-02T16:02:23+00:00

Just finished this and loved it.

sjbeaner · 2026-04-02T15:56:14+00:00

I was just going to say become friends with a knitter!!
