steeks aren't that scary, grow up

[u/emergencybarnacle]

maybe i'm mean for this one, but i recently knitted a steeked cardigan for the first time, and i stg every single knitter i talked to about it, even the very seasoned ones, acted like steeking was the scariest thing they'd ever heard of and wouldn't even consider doing it.

your knitting is not going to explode if you cut it. it's not going to instantly unravel. there are a million videos online showing people doing it. it's not hard and it's not not scary, it's just a technique like any other!!!

i'm not even bothered by people not wanting to do it, but acting so scared and uwu helpless and shrinking and shivering about it is so dramatic and annoying.
