I had a similar experience in the realm of cooking and baking after watching several seasons of Good Eats about 5 years ago. I wasn't exactly a stranger to the kitchen before that, but I didn't really have the confidence to try new or technically tricky recipes until I'd whisked up a few batches of mayo and cooked variations on AB's split pea soup a few times. I probably wouldn't have tried perfecting my rye bread recipe as I did a few years ago (well, nearly perfected) nor tried my more recent experiments with preserves and candymaking without that initial grounding in success.
By the way, if you happen to be making an extra cribbage board in the near future I'd definitely be interested!
That's fantastic! It does help to not fail abysmally at one's first try. I think that's what that cursive did for me -- it kind of laid the groundwork of the skill via something that didn't matter in the least (who cares if I write outside the lines in a book?).
I will add a note to keep you posted on the cribbage boards!
