Is knitting a race? Anne and Steph don't think so.
In this episode, they explore why quality matters more than quantity, how slowing down can make you a better knitter, and why creating garments you'll love to wear is worth the extra time. They also talk about practice, ripping back, overcoming perfectionism, and embracing knitting as a lifelong journey.
Because in the end, it's not about how fast you finish – it's about creating something you'll be proud of.
