How important is it to me to knit the right way?
Having taught myself #Knitting from a book, I’d say not very. Over the years I’ve learned to hold my needles & yarn in all sorts of ways with the result being fabric that is individualistic & unlikely to be mistaken for something knit by a machine. That’s important to me. It’s also a major selling point for my hats, headbands, scarves, & other accessories/items because honestly, if you are not looking for something unique & handmade, you aren’t going to be willing to pay a fair price for my work.
Hand knitting is a very personal activity. I put a lot of me into each item I make, even when I’m not trying to. That, to me, is what makes each creation special.
