tallies in reverse: "They had all just watched her struggle!" *** In the yarn and thread shop yesterday, I saw the same thing. The woman wanted a project, but was tired of seaming sweaters (repeated several times), so they turned her onto socks, but she didn't know how to do the CO (which would be tight), so at the check out counter, I suggested if she had a larger needle, she CO with that. She was shocked. Then asked me questions later at the door, and I said if you are sick of seaming sweaters, just knit them in the round on circulars...again, shocked. It went on from there (3 ndl BO at shoulders, pick up the sleeves, etc.) and she kept saying, "Why didn't the staff here tell me any of this, I have asked over and over for years!" They would have had a loyal customer.
I am not sure if it is not paying attention, not caring, laziness, or probably that they don't get there are many ways to execute a task, but I doubt that the staff was doing things the way this woman had learned, probably 60 years ago. Whether it is math or lace making, there is more than one way (and surely many perspectives for the brain) to grasp the concept/s.
