On knitting & relaxing

Have you noticed the huge come-back of knitting the last years? Have you heard how relaxing and stress-free people say it is?

Well, I tried to learn. Stress-free and relaxing - are you kidding me? After 15 minutes, I wanted to scream, after 30 minutes I wanted to get the scissors and show the thread who the boss is and after 1 hour, I wanted to wrap the disappointing result around my throat and choke myself.

So, here is the truth: knitting is relaxing when you ALREADY know how to knit and it's no use if you need immediate solutions to get rid of your stress and nerves. (Sorry if I disappoint. I, too, had high hopes for this one).
