I am so grateful to my grandma for teaching me to knit. the small repetitive movement are soothing, and it keeps my hands busy and off my phone. I love wearing something that I’ve made every single stitch of, and making things for people I love. I finished this jumper this weekend. does anyone else knit? You got any good patterns?
I love your sweater! Purl soho has beautiful $$ yarn in the best colors, but they also have a ton of free patterns that are very high quality. Their yarn goes on sale all the time too, so if you want something, just wait, it will def go on sale.
my grandma taught me 2 when i was tiiiiny but i just retaught myself how to do it a couple days ago!!!! so excited about it but i dunno where i should start project wise…. so far i’ve just knitted a tiny wonky rectangle. jumper looks sooo beautiful
nikau thank you! A tiny rectangle is defo the place to start, your next step is scarf and then maybe hat? Definitely look at lovecrafts.com they’ve got loads of free patterns once you’ve got going! (Maybe I’ll make that a rec!)
I picked it up as a way to try to curb my phone + video game habit, felt like it satisfied the same thing of using my hands and getting that short term accomplishment feeling. it's heaven! here's the first scarf I finished for myself after making scarves for a bunch of other people
its a hobby i picked up for reducing my anxiety through job interviews and now, its actually something i enjoy doing all the time! i started with some small projects - beanies, gloves and finally made a sweater last winter ❄️ i made another top in the summer and im currently knitting a vest hehe linking my favourite knitting channels and accounts:
