I started my very first sewing project two days ago. I think it's going to be a complete disaster but I kinda don't care. At least so far. This shit is so therapeutic. Idk if it's because I'm a beginner but it requires my full focus in a way knitting doesn't. Every moment I have to concentrate on what I'm doing and it doesn't leave my brain any space to think about anything else. I love it. And it's so fun too. Even when I fuck up it's fun. I had to stop because I couldn't get the zigzag stitch right even after lots of tries and I wasn't even mad. It's just fun.

#Turbotxt #Turbosew #I wonder sometimes if I've built tolerance to frustration by knitting #Like in knitting mistakes are inevitable even when you're an expert #You know from time to time you're going to have to undo something that took you hours maybe even days to do #And I count those extra hours of work as part of the process #Like #I don't consider them ''extra'' time #Like if I spent two months knitting a sweater and then after I finished it I spent another two weeks undoing a bit and redoing it again #Then that sweater was always going to take me two and a half months #Like when I run out of yarn and I need to buy more #It doesn't bother me because that's the yarn the project needs and nothing can change that #So with time and mistakes it's the same #Its all part of the process #I wish I could extrapolate this mentality to my actual life lol
