# I woo you!
Request? Teach me how to knit, dammit. I just spent the past more-than-one hours playing with yarn... and the only thing I have to show for it is annoyed hands and a ball of unraveled yarn.

Why is it old ladies and mentally challenged people can do it, but I can't?

I think I need bigger needles. The ones I have are incredibly small and the yarn I have is fuzzy and hard to work with. *excuses, excuses*

Oh. Hi. Don't mind me. I'm just ranting in your thread, because you're nice and you seemed the type to let me.

# PROTIP:
Forget knitting. It's for old ladies and mentally challenged people.

# Good tip.
I need to find an old lady or a mentally challenged person...

I'm working on a project that needs specially custom-knitted stuffs... and I was hoping I could learn to do it myself. I try to be a jack-off-all-trades. Sometimes that works against me.

I'll stick to chainmail, which is much easier. *be's manly (not Lord)*

# Ahh! Giant knitting robot taking over tokyo!!!
I never stopped to think about getting a machine to do it. I'll consider it, but because I'll probably only use it the once I don't know if it'll be worth the money, even secondhand. It might be cheaper to just hire a granny for a weekend. And a frog.

or mentally challenged.

Maybe it's for the best that we're no good at it. We can use our valuable time for other things. Like making perdy pictures of gorillas and fairies. Or maybe that's just you.
