    Anyone here transited the same journey from fear to comfort in
    something like that?
    There are two strategies for dealing with fear. One is to avoid the thing you fear. The other is to do the thing you fear. The first strategy merely postpones the fear; it will keep returning until you apply the second one. The second one will have one or the other of two possible outcomes: either you will survive the ordeal and no longer fear the thing, or it will kill you. Either way, you won't have the fear any more.

    Yeah, same here. Just replace knitting with something
    more awesome and less destructive.

    How Canadian is this eh? I once sliced my arm with a piece of metal roofing and as there was no one about to help me I mended it myself with a piece of duct tape (Red Green would have been proud). To this day I have to look hard to see where it happened. (it was a gash about three inches long) and no I didn't go to the hospital. I had had my tetanus shot a year earlier and didn't relish the idea of any more needles.
