Ha ha ha, I've never been able to properly follow patterns. My stuff always looks funky because I just go freeform and adjust as I go based on eyeing it.
Every time I've tried a pattern, I lose track so dang often I get fed up and quit the project entirely.
Better to have a lopsided result that's actually completed and usable than to have a perfect but perfectly unusable unfinished piece hanging out in the project drawer for years...

I’ve never made anything before. My mom tried to teach me how to knit before but it never stuck.

Same here
At one point I live i was taught knitting and also crocheting but it didn't stuck ^^° I don't remember how to do any of that now
I got some basic sewing skills though

It's been very foggy these past days ...
And many car accidents happens because people didn't put the proper lights on or thought their car would just do that for them

Oh, no, that's tragic... maybe I should look forward to self-driving cars, so people won't make mistakes like that...

Oh no foggy days.

I sometimes sew back a few holes in clothes. I’m not good at it but at least that’s something lol. But yeah knitting didn’t stick.

Mom tried to make me into a proper lady so I got the crash course on knitting/sewing/crocheting/cross stitching and ... it didn't work because obviously the whole "it's because you're a woman" thing would annoy me.

And now, like 25+years later I have picked up embroidery/cross stitching while I was looking for a new hobby and it sticks (I suspect I find piercing things with a needle very cathartic XD)

I tried crocheting amigurumi but you have to count everything and I'm bad at it. Knitting as well, I miss a lot of things I shouldn't miss.
I've always been taught sewing to repair things more than anything else but aside from buttons I haven't done a thing lately. My mother could adjust the length of denims but husband refuses to let me do his XD

As for the weather, it's raining, it's annoying I wanted to go out for a walk.

I think that’s the main reason why I don’t like knitting and such. Bc of the counting. I think there’s special frames to make scarves and stuff but if it has anything to do with numbers, I avoid them like the plague lol.

You should avoid cross stitching too then.
Somehow I can more or less tolerate the counting for cross stitching, mostly because you see the result right away and thus it's easier to catch mistakes early.

Lol I’ll remember that then pftha. XD I have a bad memory when it comes to numbers.

Embroidery is fine though; no counting. And you can customize your things which is always a good thing.

For a while I was obsessed with these paint by numbers things, those were great too.
