 Why do so many women put themselves last? It's amazing how it
happens - one minute you're a carefree child, then a rebellious
teenager, then perhaps an independent career woman. The next minute you
can find yourself looking after a partner, children, fundraising for
the school, action as treasurer for a local club or charity, or perhaps
shopping for elderly relatives and neighbours. Some of us just can't
say no! Men can find themselves working flat out for other people in
their spare time, too, expecially during the parenting and early
retirement years.
While all these things can be enjoyable,
sociable and rewarding, sometimes you do wonder how you ended up doing
something you don't like - treasurer, for instance, when you always
hated arithmetic,. Putting others first is habit-forming. So, if this
happens to you or a friend, what is answer? If you haven't already done
so, it's time to learn knitting! Set yourself goals - try a new
technique this week, or make something you can wer this spring. Of
course you will still get asked to do things for others, but if you
become known as a knitter, at least people will ask you to do the
things that you love.
Pass on the skill
When your friends and family see
wonderful results, they'll soon be clamouriing for you to make them
knitted scarves, bags, jumper and tops - and then is the time to teach
them how to knit for themselves!
It was wonderful to see
so many teenage knitters poring over the yarns, buttons and knit kits
nowadays. The teenages like me like to sit in the coffee shop, park or
college corridors, knitting while they have the free time.
By
now, many new knitters will have made a poncho and a scarf and be
wondering what to make next. In our website, there is more quick
projects to make every week. Moreover, there are penty of designs to
challenge you, plus interesting techniques to incorporate into your own
designs.
We hope that our website can help all knitters to experiment with confidence!
