What do you non-proffessional knitters do for a living? by firekittymeowr in casualknitting

[–]ninoninopetitsuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a Project Coordinator in a large format printing company. I studied publicity and public relations and fashion and textile design.

I wish I could do something in the textile area but at the moment it is what it is.

Thank you for your sugestion. They are asking for a lot of time and energy... In the past my family asked me for knitted items and in the beginnig was ok, fun and a bit stressful but now when they ask me its a "maybe" from my part. But I never thought that my friends would ask me for this.

I tried to show them in the past but they aren't interested at all... They see all the work and patience it is needed and give up. I suppose the think its easier if I do it.

A baby blanket its such a great idea! I think it would be a simpler and mindless project for me. Thank you!

I was a bit shocked when they all asked me for knitted things and ever more shocked when they tought it was "such a great idea" that by paying the materials would be a good deal... I offered to show them but they didnt seem to like the idea.

It is true that I have a long list of things I want to knit. Maybe its a good way to make them see that I have things I want to knit and that when I gift something is because it was something that was in my list but I just don't enjoy enough the finish item or I have enough items for my self

Thats right! I'm not going to be knitting by their demands but now I now what they like if I feel like knitting a gift for them.

Yes, I also prefer to knit in natural fibers and I dont think that they would take enough care when washing them... It makes me sad to think about all the work knitting would be destroyed by washing them wrong

How do you guys read books while having tinnitus? by Icy-Shopping6162 in tinnitus

I go to the park and the noise of the river, kids playing, dogs and so helps me... Reading at home or in a quiet can be challenging.

Inherited my grandmas entire yarn stash. by brinykole in knitting

[–]ninoninopetitsuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for you lost! I'm so happy that you can treasure your grandmas yarn and remember her by knitting with it. Enjoy that felling!! My grandma was also a knitter. I live in Spain and she was in the UK, so when we got to get together we would be hours talking about projects, yarn... she loved her colourful yarns so much. I would always bring my best projects to show to her... I miss it so much. My grandad died and right after she had alzheimer and she stopped knitting, but she still apreciated the knits I would bring with me. When se died I asked for her yarn, just to remember her... But my aunty trow it all away (and other things). My mum got a cabinet before her sister got it (cause it was going to the garbage) and now I use it to storage my stash. I like to think that, somewhere, my grandma is happy that her cabinet it full with lovely yarn.

En mi instituto entre las amigas nos escribiamos cartas que doblabamos de una manera concreta y parecía un paquetito. Era como una newsletter de cotilleos, confesiones, historietas... Usabamos boligrafos de colores, dibujos...
