Yes!! Like, I don’t mean to rag on anyone’s crafts, but I’ve seen so many people who do Diamond paintings just toss them in a portfolio binder that they never look at! It’s okay to love doing something just for the sake of doing ❤️
I’m a process knitter and a finished object knitter. I want all the hot new knits. I knit for many hours a day. My daughter called me last night and said, my granddaughter needs leg warmers for dance. She’s 4. Guess what I’m casting on this morning! She’s my favorite person to knit and sew for, because she’s always so excited. And let’s face it, she’s just adorable. Happy knitting! Can’t wait for clue 3. Can’t believe we are half way there.
Aww you’re the best grandma! I love that she’s so excited and knitworthy! Having a life where we can knit for hours is such a blessing and privilege. ❤️ I can’t wait for Clue 3 either!!! Is it Thursday yet????
I feel exactly the same way about the feeling of loss of community. That’s the saddest part for me. I miss people being supportive and kind. It’s really not that hard. I’ve been staying in my own little knitting world too. I guess it helps that I worked all weekend.
It’s really really sad. There’s a lot of places for people who want to be self-righteous about their Clue 1 choice. But if you just want to share your excitement for everyone - well… I guess you can make your own RUclips videos about it. It sucks so bad.
I knit more because I love the process than the final object. There are some pieces I wear and many I don't. And that is okay with me. Keep knitting and whether you wear it or not is really beside the point!
Knitting is FUN! I love relaxing knits and challenges and every single thing about it! (Except finishing work!) There should be no shame in just having your finished knits and storing them. It’s our lives!
Love the games metaphor! People travel to idyllic locations or the same location every holiday but never move there! That costs way more than the amount of wool I could knit in a year!
😂 I always get a chuckle from your videos. I love your honesty. Knit what you want and then do what you want with your time and money, you are so right about video games. I think you just answered for me why I never got into them. No reward.
Woman, you’re so relatable! Love that you’re direct and speak your mind 😄 I knit and crochet, but I definitely enjoy knitting more. I even play some video games 😆 At least with your shawls, maybe someday your kids would want them, or later… grandkids 😊
Thank you so much! I used to play PC games so I don’t judge lol 😂 Maybe they’ll be heirlooms haha I love them because they feel like a diary of sorts, I always remember what was happening in my life when I made them, and how I felt. I think that creation really does absorb a person’s energy on some level. ❤️
When knitting, you’re supposed to take breaks like having a sip of tea, moving a little which is good for shoulders/ neck etc but mostly it is good to check what has been worked so there is no substantial damages.
Look at you colour matching again today 😂😂😂😂😂 dark green, olive, grey and the colours from your knit ❤❤❤ I could listen to your frustrations and happiness for hours. I can SO relate! Don't ever change! 😘 PS. Guess who has bags of knitting in the closet 😂😂😂
Your shawl looks good. I look forward to seeing your Twists & Turns. I love my colors. I hated the cables. I learned M1L and M1R well enough to not need to look those up every day. Thankful for that lesson. I used the wrong size needle, so it is too shallow and still needs blocking. Those long winding strips about did me in. I love this geogradient. It reminds me of the construction of Quadrangle Spires. Let's see what happens next!
Thank you! I think the Twists and Turns realllllyyyy depended on colors used. But truthfully, at the end of the day, yours is the only opinion that matters!
I've had two close girlfriends actually say to me "How many sweaters do you really need?" and it soooooo annoys me!! I don't say "how many puzzles do you really need to do?" or "How many bike rides do you really need?". Why do people feel they have a right to question (and judge) how I like to spend MY free time?!
Exactly!!!! How many hobbies do you even get anything “out” of it? Maybe we just like knitting for the sake of knitting! I also make greeting cards I never send 😂 So what??? I hope your closet is filled with sweaters!
@@tinachester3716 Omg I know! If they actually knew how many silk shirts I've thrifted with the intent to make patchwork they'd have heart palpitations! Non-crafters/creators just don't understand the compulsion to surround yourself with inspiration!😆
Yes you are nice, unless you have been following a script for all these podcasts I’ve been watching!! Hear you on the tink back annoyance and the rant about people who dont get spending on a pattern or yarn to make something special as it will take 100+ hours, and yet they will rent a movie, buy a take out and lots of alcohol, and that costs the same!!
Seriously!!!! No one would care if you did that, and you have NOTHING to show for it except maybe a struggling liver! Heck, you might not even REMEMBER the weekend and that’s just fine too. No one says you’re wasting time lol I can’t follow a script convincingly to save my life 😂 improv maybe, but acting isn’t my forte at all hahaha Thank you so much!!!
Love the knotting of the ends tip! Brilliant
Laziness is the mother of invention ❤️😂
Love the video game analogy!
People “waste” so much time on them! And rarely does anyone say a thing! Lol
I totally agree with you, other crafts as well are not meant to be useful or worn, like cross-stitching and painting people don't wear them.

The dropped stitches were from me being lazy and quitting in the middle of a row and throwing it around haphazardly when I wasn’t knitting it 😂😂😂😂

I could listen to your frustrations and happiness for hours. I can SO relate! Don't ever change! 😘

Lol thank you! That means a lot. I always feel like I need to just stop 😂😂😂 ❤️❤️

I also sew clothes so have a huge fabric stash. Knitting is my second hobby but my husband knows this all gives me joy!
And if you had a stocked wine cellar with more than you could drink in a lifetime - no one would judge! 😂❤️
I can totally relate. I always feel the same frustrations. I love having you as a knitting friend. I look forward to your messages
❤️❤️ I’m so glad we’re knitting friends !!!
You're supposed to leave your sts on the needle at the end of Clue 2. No bind off.
Thanks! I actually hadn’t looked it up yet lmao you’re the best ❤️

You're the cure for all the stuff that pisses me off about other knitting videos.
Lol thank you ❤️ There’s something for everyone on knitting RUclips 😂❤️
So true!😊
We aren’t supposed to bind off.
Thank you!
I'm not happy with my square, I might take it out an redo. Wish me luck lol.
Much better to redo it than to hate it! Good luck! You’re a lot more patient than I am!
