Tight stitches are the main culprit so try going up a needle size and consciously loosen your grip. If your current needles are acrylic or thin, switch to stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber - those resist bending much better. In a small space, circular needles with short tips are great even for flat knitting because the cable carries the load and cuts down on leverage that makes straights bend.

Start with appreciation and then a clear window. I enjoy seeing you, but I need a day or two notice so I can plan. If it helps, suggest a regular night each month. Worked fine back when everything went on the fridge calendar.

Hey Matthew, Oh man, asking for alone time? Good luck with that. It's like walking a tightrope. one wrong word and boom, feelings hurt, arguments start. I've tried it before and it always backfires because they think it's about them, not you needing space. Sure, you could frame it nicely, like 'I love our time together but I recharge solo,' but honestly, expect some passive-aggressive vibes later. And if you're on a small budget with no extra rooms, it's even worse – where do you even go? Just prepare for the pitfalls, buddy.

Hey James, Focusing problems are often hardware driven such as a tired lens motor or dust and and firmware updates may not fix them. Weigh repair against the camera's value and your attachment, since fixes can be costly and short lived and a solid used replacement might be the better call.
