Knitting, Sewing, Handicrafts: Useful lifeskill

maf tea:

Totally agree on the part that knitting or needlework feels very much like meditation, probably due to the repeated and rhythmic movements. I remember my family got together to knit a buttoned vest for the dad. 2 daughters knitted the front of the vest, left and right side respectively. The mum did the back portion and then combined all the parts together as a gift. From then, the dad had something to keep himself warm in the office and it made him feel like the whole family was giving him endless warm hugs each time he put it on .


I agree that it is easier going to the yarn shop to learn from a teacher, definitely better. All you have to do is purchase the materials from the shop and the lesson would most probably be complementary.

What a sweet story. What a lucky dad

Hi I used to knit twenty years ago, now very difficult to find a someone who can teach you. May I know where u learn knitting ?

Just go to a yarn shop that has a teacher. It's very easy to get started.

I learnt it from Golden Dragon Store at People’s Park Centre (Chinatown).

I know that San Merinos at The Grandstand (former Turf City) also have knitting lessons.

There is one at Heartland Mall. Another one at AMK central near the Bee Chun Heng bakwa store. I think it's called Elsie Trading. We learn at Elsie as it is closer to home. They charge $10/mth for unlimited access to teacher. She is there 3-4 times a week. Registration is $10. Must buy yarn there, around $4.50 per ball and you need around 4 balls to make a scarf.

Golden Dragon could have a bigger variety of yarn.
