I’ve been doing some challenging knitting to prove I can still make things work. I will gift it to someone I care about, then start something for someone else.
Knitting in general makes me want to cry (frustration because my hands don‘t want to hold two needles and coordinate movement), doesn‘t keep me from trying at least once a year. 😆
I’m genuinely not trying to be snarky and maybe you’ve already tried this: if needle coordination is an issue, might crochet work for you? There’s just the one hook!
I crochet too, but I’m an extremely experienced knitter, it’s just been a very long time since I did Fair Isle, I keep wanting to twist strands, rather than carry.
My life has been complicated this year. Family illness, a wedding, my own illness. My head is a little muddled.
I’ll get through it!

it would be so cruel and amazing if they printed cards whose names addressed this. Missing Piece, human soldier, 3G. When this creature enters the battlefield, repair all damage to target player and leave the store.
Therapy Session - 2 colorless and a blue: “target player talks vulnerably for two minutes. If two minutes are completed without sarcasm or deflection, that player wins the game.
when you are sitting under the handmade double weight sleeping bag quilt you sewed with your own two hands, no machine, you read thay last word wrong and are like "...I do miss stitching."
I stitched it in 43 days but cheated slightly because a lot of the pretty side was pieces of had quilted and not finished stitched together. I miss that quiet time.
Clearly they don't know about Warhammer, a hobby so expensive and time consuming that you can't psychologically afford to not have it fill the emptiness.
I am perfecting my origami. My creases have never been sharper. My models are so amazing that they seem to spring to life in my hands. I finish my 10,000th crane, and almost hear my dad say he's proud of me.

Hope things improve soon.

Target player can be you.”
Of course, they might try . . .
I grab another sheet of paper.
