Advantages: Relaxing Hobby

Disadvantages: It can be expensive

Knitting this is such a great pasttime and you can knit and socialise ,watch TV or listen to music or whatever the mood is at the time.

I was taught knitting by my mother and I am very pleased that I learnt.A few years ago I did knit a lot but now not quite as much. It used to be quite a cheap way of making jumpers etc but now wool is expensive and it is often cheaper to buy rather than to make.

When I did knit on a regular basis I certainly did not have the choice of yarns which seems to be around now but some of the yarn is I feel very costly.

In my local library last year they arranged for people come and demonstrate knitting and I was amazed about how many were there and now once a month we go along with our knitting needles and in the library where we meet we 'Knit & Natter' and all ages come from young mums and people who are retired. Also it is very valuable time as the ones who are able to knit pass there skills down to others and hopefully this craft will not die.
A few years ago you would find a Wool Shop in every town but now there are not as many but there is always the internet to use so the only disadvantage with obtaining wool by the internet is that you cannot see it before you buy but if you contact the various companies that sell wool they will send you samples of the wool and the different colours,just like you can with paint.
As yarn can be costly it is best to look around and buy it when it is in the sale and if you use anything like Ebay then that can be also a good place to buy wool and get a bargain.


Also celebraties are turning to knitting and there are many novels now written about Knitting. It is certainly now fashionable to sit down with your needles and make a social event of it with friends or on one's own quietly watching Tv.

Summary: Knitting is a Fashionable thing to Do
