That’s my girlfriend. She bought a knitting kit because she wanted to try it. She quit within 30 minutes because it was “too difficult”. I sadly wasn’t able to convince her that almost all hobbies take practice and that it’s okay to make mistakes, especially when - but not limited to - starting out
It took multiple starts and finishes before I got the hang of knitting. What really made me understand it was an arm-knitting class (using our arms in place of needles, with thick, chunky yarns) at a craft store. Having somebody show me how to do it, it all clicked. It’s amazing what a few minutes with somebody who really knows a craft can do for helping someone just starting out.
