    Summary

    Dimitri doesn’t do connections. He doesn’t do hobbies or nights out or dates. He works from home as a shitty project manager, goes to the gym at two in the morning, and is miserable all the time. Now that his parents and stepsister are gone, nothing else feels right.

    But when his panic attacks and anxiety come to a head, his therapist suggests he take on a ‘tactile hobby’ to ground himself. Visual art is out of the question, too free-form. The idea that he might create something that says something about himself is petrifying. He needs an activity that has instructions attached. Woodworking? In his tiny apartment? Baking? He couldn’t taste it anyway. So that’s how Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd finds himself walking out of a craft store with a pair of size eight knitting needles and a cheap ball of yarn.

    “This better fucking work.”

    OR: Dimitri hits rock bottom, and the only way left to go is up.
