Knitting is a hobby that connects millions of people across the globe that
all have things in common; the love for yarn and a desire to create things
with their hands, a love of being creative with colours and materials,
people trying to live a more sustainable life. We all speak the same
language - knitting - and the knitting commuinty is probably the
friendliest community on the internet. Nothing is "right" or "wrong"
- it's all just different choices and artistic expressions.
Knitting has always been popular amongst certain age groups, many of you
probably had a grandmother or someone else a bit older that knitted during
your upbringing. But recently knitting has become very trendy
internationally, probably as a result of the pandemic and people being in
lock-down. During this time a lot of people felt the need for something
meaningful to do. Knitting connected so many people who felt lonely - and
also made them get a more sustainable lifestyle by making their own
garments and home accessories.
Don't feel like knitting those
ugly sweaters and socks your
grandmother made? No, worries! Modern knitting patterns are really trendy
and up to date. You won't be able to tell what's home knitted and what's
store bought.
