10 things knitters can’t stand

We’re a unique group, us yarn enthusiasts. Knitters around the world face a unique set of problems that non-knitters just don’t seem to get.

But it’s okay, just know you’re not alone.

1. When someone asks you a question while counting…

2. When the cat somehow gets into your yarn bag…

3. When you’ve spent weeks on a jumper, only to shrink it in the wash…

4. When a friend wants a “simple” gift for Christmas…

5. When you’ve not finished a project, but you’re running out of yarn.

6. When you look at the clock and realise you have to be awake in a few hours.

7. When you’ve dropped some stitches…

8. When your tension didn’t work exactly as you expected…

9. When knitting needles poke holes in your favourite bags.

10. And when you finally take stock of all the yarn you have..
