Winter is Coming, Knit Faster
This is where you'll most likely find me until the new spring arrives. I can spend hours and hours like this, knitting, watching Netflix or listening to an audiobook, and a cup (read: several liters) of tea by my side. I'm completely at peace when I'm knitting something, my favorite being wool socks. You can never have too many of those when living in Finland.
I will do this until my fingers bleed, quite literally. A dent forms in the nail of my left thumb, where it rest against the needle and pushes up the next stitch. Slowly the same needle punctures a hole in my right index finger, after thousands of times pushing it down. The wool yarn runs over my left index finger, and soon cuts through several layers of skin. Yet I enjoy knitting more than anything else.
Have a great Sunday!
You need to find yourself a SteemHusband @eveuncovered! Can you make some socks for me, I'll be yours forever❤️
I always alternate between knitting and crochet, with the first my fingers start to bleed and the second my knuckles ache after some time xD
Haha that is a great tactic! :D
How'd you get started?
My mother and grandmother taught me when I was little :)
The first rule of knitclub is... the family has one of them old machines you use a handle. its the old metal white & pink model. all i remember ;)
I can imagine this being so relaxing!!! My mum was amazing at it but I could never pick up the skill I guess I could give it a try again ;)
You definitely should. Make sure to store some patience for when you start ;)
Knitting... it's such a Scandinavian and northern European thing! I'm sure it's quite meditative, too... you just get into a "place" and time and life around you more or less ceases to exist. That's also how I feel when I paint tiny intricate patterns on beach stones (my hobby/creative outlet).
It is! I try to make sure to keep the craft alive and bring it to the this century.
Knitting is definitely me what yoga is to many other people.
Lol, the "Winter is coming" title made think this post was going to be about Game of Thrones... :-)
Nevertheless, happy knitting!
Sorry to trick you ;)
No worries, you got me reading about knitting! That is quite the accomplishment, I can tell you!
That's a great skill - not something I can do. I think it's really cool you can make your own socks. Very colorful too. :-)
Thank you :) I'm really an old school grandma at heart.
Appreciate the humor in your title!
No humor there, all true ;) Also, getting hyped up for the last episode of the season for GOT!
would like to See the knitted steem pully, and Nice steem socks 👌
;)
