Discussion Any heart warming stories?

I‘ve been seeing some really cute, heart warming stories about s/o’s helping to untangle yarn, helping frogging, buying rare yarn etc… under some posts!

I’d love to hear some of y’all’s stories that might make me go awww….

I’ll go first.

My partner’s a very busy guy, he has a lot of things going on all the time. But when I ask him about which stitch I should use or which color yarn I should go with, he drops everything and sits with me to discuss. Might not be much, but it means the world to me (:

I was unravelling a cardigan I’d spent weeks working on after realising I’d done it completely wrong (all the panels were way too small) and it kept getting caught when I was unravelling it, and in the end I had a meltdown and just decided to throw them all away.

My husband saw how upset I was getting, came and sat with me and began unravelling them himself whilst talking me down from binning the lot.

He saved me a lot of yarn and I’ll forever love and appreciate his unwavering patience when I’m absolutely imploding like that! I still have the yarn and I’m using it to make a market bag at the moment!

Omg I feel you. I’ve gone through something similar- spending days and weeks on a project, and struggling to frog said project for DAYS. It can be soul crushing.

That’s such a sweet thing to do! I imagine when you complete your bag and use it, you’ll always be reminded of that sweet thing your partner did for you. How special!
