navel gazing

I've been always admiring those devoted knitters. They create beautiful arts with yarns and sticks, which amazes me with their endless capability. Gee most of them knit a lot with the speed of light as well. They seem so enthusiastic and look very happy with what they are up to. I'm not an authentic knitter but they so often make me feel like knitting, so badly, by showing me their world.


That's why I pretended to be a knitter and knitted this little jacket. And I even started another knitting project too. While knitting, I often wonder if hobby sewists can make people feel like sewing in the same way as hobby knitters make me feel like following them.

...well, that said, I don't know if I'd want the answer. Because it is a silly question. And that doesn't matter. That doesn't matter at least to me and to my sewing at all. Still, if it happens, it is lovely.

Imagine there are positive influences everywhere.


Talk to you soon!

Love,
yoshimi

    It is very pretty. I used to knit with a frenzy, but now I am back on my sewing kick again.

    That doesn't look like pretend knitting to me! You are always inspiring to others and now as a knitter! This is a beautiful little sweater!

    That's very cute! I love the act of knitting, but it takes so long compared to sewing...

    Such pretty colours in your jacket/shrug. I also pretend to be knitter, a good way to keep my hands busy when unable to access a sewing machine.

    Oh wow, it's very minimalist and at the same time very feminine. Those colours somehow remind me of my childhood. Well done-definitely no small feat (I'd say a rather big achievement actually).

    I love your shrug and the elegant way you wear it. I think you can consider yourself a knitter from now on.
