    I love that you introduced knitting, it's not my favorite craft and never will be, crochet is my 1st love.
    What I didn't like abt other videos when learning to knit is how stuffy they are, not warm and welcoming.
    Just keep being you! Do what makes you happy.

    The knitters that criticize you are probably the same type of knitting snobs you find at SOME (thankfully not all) LYS . Thankfully most creators are more welcoming of people learning new skills , otherwise these arts would die out! Keep doing you, you are an inspiration to all of us who want to learn new things!

    Hi Mikey first of all I really enjoy your channel and your podcasts and in regards to your knitting tutorials a huge thankyou I am a knitter and crocheter, pretty new still at crochet but have been knitting for many years taught by my grandmother, I thought I new a lot but your tutorials have helped me in my own makes but more importantly you have taught me to relax more and enjoy the stitches and the process of making something beautiful. Thankyou again dont let the hurters hurt & please keep doing what you do. Hugs ❤️🫂

    In my travels, I saw an antique chair, for a knitter. It had no armrests. Was very solid looking!
    My mother still knits (@95) & I chose to crochet. I enjoy crocheting, very much!
    I am currently crocheting an afghan, from a Chunky apricot yarn, making it longer so she can tuck it under her feet & around her as she stays in a recliner & does not use a bed, due to Rheumatoid Arthritis & hip & back Pains.

    Let me tell you something Mike. I'm 58 and have vowed to NEVER learn to knit! EVER! My Mother tried to teach me and I ran! My Sister tried to give me my Mother's knitting stuff recently and I said no. YOU are responsible for me learning to knit right now! Grrrr! 🤪 It took me about 15 minutes, rewinding your video 3 times and 3 frogs to "get it" and now I'm knitting! (Darn you! 🤣) I love the feel of knitted items, much more than crochet. You made it easy except for the right hand tension. My right hand said NO and it refuses to even try. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I may try to learn left hand knitting or just figure something else out but I will figure it out. It's a challenge and that's something I love. You did that for me and I thank you. You're an awesome teacher, keep it up as long as YOU want. I'll follow you to the end...

    Everybody has their own journey's in fiber and being able too do many different things with it only enhances your experiances with it and imagination too.
    Those that look down on others for it or make derogatory coments are usually those that aren't and or can't master it.
    So when someone comments negatively feel sorry for them not your self. Its your pathway nobody else's. Embrace it. Hugs your way.

    What I like is that you're being real with what you do. I LOVE that you are showing the process as you are learning and improving your skill. Don't let the trolls get to you. Who says you can't put them in their place? Yes, online is forever, but they don't have any right to be so hyper critical (and hypocritical). I agree that we have to end the enmity between knitters and crocheters. I am bi-stitchual and proud of it. AND I AM LEFT-HANDED as well. So there! (Insert big cheesy grin) Big Texas hugs tou you, Mikey.

I never really progressed at it, but like it. Passed the needles on & crochet mainly.

  • @bbsamazon
    @bbsamazon Год назад

    Hey Mickey, try to focus on the folks who are positive. Focusing on the negative tends to blow things up out of proportion and then you’re sliding *down* that nasty, slippery slope of negativity. Focus on the positive, please. Since you’ve been seemingly focusing on folks who are being nasty, it’s showing in your demeanor. One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed watching you is that you were so positive.
    The First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, quote is, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Seems as though you’re consenting - quit it! 😊
    There’s another quote by Eleanor, "Do what you feel in your heart to be right for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
    You could be perfect (no one is) and someone would criticize you. I think that when someone rips you apart they’re "projecting." In other words, they’re feeling bad so they want to try to make you feel bad. Those kind of people are very immature (even if they’re in their 80s) and you really don’t need to give them a second thought.

      You are looking up graphghan work. ruclips.net/video/bIqFcXi0IWY/видео.html this is how it's done. It's not tapestry as the yarn is being done with bobbles. Tapestry crochet is when the yarn is carried under the stitches.
