I don't know shit about knitting, and even I can tell the needles are upside-down just for starters.

There was a bizarre movement in the Victorian era to get people to knit with their needles held with tips pointed down because it's "more ladylike" but it's also very difficult and irritating to knit that way so it didn't catch on.

An "optics first" mindset. Sadly, it's probably even worse in 2024.
