I contact some canadian knitters for whom knitting is a passion and I ask them three questions. I hope you'll find some inspiration like I did!
Gabriele from Fluur
Why do you like knitting?
Well, I did ask that myself a long time ago and found out that it relaxes me. Like kneading dough. Little repeating things.
Your best advice for a beginner?
I would recommend a non-expensive yarn and medium sized needles.
Reason: beginners usually are tense. Too big or too small needles would enhance that probably, giving the learner the feeling of frustration rather than success.
A website (or a book) you can recommend?
I learned to knit and crochet when I was 6 years old and must admit that I don't know any website for knitting nor a book.
Why do you like knitting?
I like knitting because it gives me something to do while I watch TV or listen to music. That way, I don't feel 'guilty' if I sit in front of the TV for a couple of hours, as I've got something productive to show for it!
Your best advice for a beginner?
Best advice for beginners is to pick a small item that can be completed quickly, like a coaster or a bookmark. Forget about trying to do a scarf, as most new knitters will get frustrated with the amount of time it's taking to complete.
A website (or a book) you can recommend?
Favourite website is yarnharlot.ca.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I just love both of your shops!!!
