I find myself also drawn to the forum on here, and other things online, and then I get distracted and barely get any knotting done...
I would just like to know, how do you guys do it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!😊

It's mostly about limiting the distractions I think. Either checking forums/online stuff first, but for a limited amount of time, before knotting, or just leaving the phone somewhere else while you knot. Hth😊

If possible you can put your phone or computer away so you don't get distracted by it. If you have a simple normal pattern you are most likely able to memorise it but if you have a more complex pattern you could print it out or manually copy it on graph paper.

What I often do while knotting is watching videos or listening to audio books. This way you don't get bored as easily. Just make sure it is not too distracting.

Knotting is my distraction 😂 whatever I do I just wanna knot. And as @halokiwi said, I usually watch something while knotting (a sitcom or something I’ve watched before, so I don’t need to pay too much attention to the plot)

@arts_milia Yeah, I'm sitting here, knowing all the things I need to do, but all I wanna do is start knotting the new pattern I have been eyeing😅😊

My problem is I get too bored just knotting without watching anything, but I also get distracted while I watch something. 😐

listening to a podcast or watching a documentary, i really liked this documentary on netflix called kiss the ground, it’s abt global warming and stuff, and i didn’t need to look at it too much so i could knot while watching/listening

Listen to something! Music, a podcast, an audiobook... Anything that you don't want to stop listening to. You get lost in your knotting when you listen, so I find that my best solution to getting distracted!
