I do think our hands know what to do (especially with spinning ) when we stop overthinking it! I struggled with knitting until I Read Elizabeth Zimmerman's Book: Knitting without Tears.

I agree, I mostly spin the best when I don't even look at what I'm doing. My brain complicates things LMAO!

Glad you got over the struggle with knitting! Zimmerman is fabulous!

My grandmother crocheted and was also a seamstress. My mom sews, but never had the patience to learn crochet. I’m not sure who might have been into what as the family has been estranged for a long time, but I do know most were farm folk. I’m hedging my bets that a lot of my desire for handiwork (and livestock) is in the blood. Somewhere.
