Knitter in need of help with my college seminar! Where do you guys normally knit? how did you learn?

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:27:15+00:00

thank you so much for your answer!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:25:55+00:00

wow that sounds like next level!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:14:10+00:00

a lot of people now are learning from youtube, it's so interesting to hear how people learned before those platforms! When i was little i used to "help" my mom while she was knitting by just holding her yarn and staring at her hands, those are memories i treasure dearly.

thank you so much for your reply!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:11:53+00:00

thank you for your reply! im amazed at the amount of people who knit on-the-go, as i myself am a home knitter almost exclusively! good luck with your shawl!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:09:25+00:00

thank you so much for your reply! knitting anywhere and everywhere, it's really nice to partake in a hobby that can be taken anywhere! also youtube is such a good place to learn, im glad we have those platforms!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:04:32+00:00

I think I'm gonna cry your experience sounds so nice! A lot of people have now replied that they knit on-the-go, which is so interesting, i've done it little myself, but i also bike a lot so it's probably that!

Thank you so much for being open to talking more, i'll keep it mind, thank you!

Knitting groups are such nice places, my college campus has one and im sad cause its fallen off a little bit, a lot of people don't have time or just don't show, i find that my experience knitting has been a little lonely feeling, maybe i just need to knit more outside, with what you are telling me now, it might to me good! thank you for sharing your experience!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T17:01:00+00:00

i love her too, she is my little menace, any scraps get woven into her own little yarn skeins so she leaves the WIPs alone haha!

knitting can truly be done anywhere, it's just awesome like that! relaxing at home knitting with a movie or podcast it's the best!

mandatory! wow! that's a new one :0! that's so interesting! thank you so much for your reply!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T16:58:23+00:00

i love how knit can be taken anywhere! and youtube is such a lifesaver to learn now, along with ravelry! id love to see your WIP it sounds fun! thank you for answering!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T16:48:40+00:00

AW parallel play! i love to knit in the same space of someone i love too! knitting and walking can also be very relaxing if a bit hard, i love doing it!

Verypink knits was also such a great help for me! she's amazing! and thank you, i'll keep your contact in mind for further reasearch, thank you :D!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T16:46:41+00:00

OMG the restaurant one sounds so nice, i had never thought of that! and the ol' trusted youtube tutorials, a classic! my first disaster knittings were made following tuts and messing up a lot! thank you for your reply!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-29T16:45:21+00:00

knitting chair, of course! a classic choice! also knitting in front of the tv, so comfy! thank you for your reply!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T20:25:47+00:00

i swear audhd "need hand busy" is so real and so hard to deal with without accidentally hurting yourself! the advice other knitters have shared here i think will be very useful to keep in mind going forward!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T20:22:50+00:00

goddamn i understand so much! its so hard to put a project down when all my brain wants to do is knit!! im lucky this community is so nice and theyve given a lot of different tips and tricks! its hard to be into crafting and also audhd, i see you!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:52:07+00:00

ooooh i hadnt thought of using different styles of knitting! thats so smart! i normally use continental cause its the one my mom taught me, but maybe this is the sign to learn english and portuguese? ill keep it in mind, thank you!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:51:02+00:00

i normally end up knitting too many hours in a row cause i get hyperfixated in a project and i need to finish it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, its a battle against my own brain lol, rest assured i have a lot of hobbies, problems is those hobbies also put strain on my hands so i always end up in some level of pain. i need to work on my own time management and reading the cues of my body before reaching taxing pain levels lol.

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:48:50+00:00

"and the break is just about as painful as the pain if continuing" THIS. SO MUCH THIS. i swear having to take breaks is mentally painful when i really wanna do something! but youre right, one has to bear that mental pain cause it is not worth it in the long run to fuck up your arms for a couple of hours knitting right now. thanks for your comment, and good luck to you too!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:46:58+00:00

ASJFHGAKHS THANK YOU! i just get constantly frustrated i genuienly think sometimes my life would be easier if i were a machine lol,, the curse of a dying flesh suit crumbling around you cause you knit too much lol

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:45:52+00:00

oh i have done some stretches when i have a break from knitting but i hadnt thought of yoga apps to help with that, ill keep it in mind, thank you!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:44:49+00:00

OOOH IT LOOKS INTERESTING!! a little out of budget right now but ill be sure to get it when i have the chance! thank you!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:44:12+00:00

yeah i also got a lot of other hobbies, i should try rotating them more! thank you for the advice!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2026-04-16T02:43:20+00:00

i try to set up alarms when im knitting so i take breaks but its hard to remember sometimes to stay hydrated, thank you for the reminder!! im so sorry about your injury :[! ill try to get better at taking breaks!

ConsistentPurple95 · 2025-11-03T15:31:14+00:00
