Knitting, Sewing, Handicrafts: Useful lifeskill

Great idea!
My girl and I started knitting lesson last month. It's great for mother daughter bonding. We enjoy knitting together
-
It's really fun right! There are so many things that can be created with the skill. Not only can it make wonderful gifts, everything becomes more personalised and treasured :D.

How do you start to learn knitting first then? I like knitting but know nuts about it, not to mention about teaching my kids.
-
We start with scarves, just knit and purl, quite easy. It's difficult only when you make a mistake. Then you'll need an expert to help you salvage without having to undo.
We learn from a yarn shop. Teacher is there 4 times a week. You can go any day to see her for help. Must buy yarn from shop.
Yes, it's fun and I must say it is very good for quietening one's mind... like meditation.

I always have a dream like those in the show to knit a scarf for my love ones… Hence this holiday I borrowed a book from the library, yet to flip it though. Think I will go DAISO to shop for my tools first.

Me too. I hope to knit a vest each for my love ones at home. When they wear, they can feel my love for them.

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. -
