💬If you weren't a knitter what would you be?
I know that not everyone here is a knitter so please feel free to insert your own crafty pursuit of choice into the title.
But it’s an interesting question isn’t it. Many of us have been knitters for such a long time that it is part of our identity. It’s hard to think back to when we didn’t knit or consider ourselves to be a knitter.
Creativity is an amazing thing though and it tends to find it’s way out into so many other creative outlets. I find that I knit less when I’m on holiday in the Lake District for example. I am still being creative - through photography and writing mainly - but the creative urge to knit seems to abate a little as I’m busy doing other things.
I have always had a huge admiration for those folks who can play a musical instrument. Unfortunately I am tone deaf and I never got the hang of reading music, to the eternal frustration of my music teacher. But I have such huge admiration for those who can create music.
To be able to evoke such a spectrum of emotion through music is such an amazing gift - and one I would love to have if such a thing were possible.
If your fairy godmother could wave her magic wand and bestow another creative talent upon you - what would you wish for and why.
Pop into the comments and let’s chat.
An axe murderer lol crafting keeps me sane and keeps my mouth from running off as I'm busy counting !
I can knit, crochet (simple patterns), sew and I would love to get back into embroidery. All skills taught by my mum and both nans. But I would love to sing and play a musical instrument. Oh and draw and paint. But then I remember a lady in my WI who is a great paper crafter and has painted her own decorative plates but said a shawl pattern I'd knitted was beyond her. We all have our talents and in the end there's only 24 hours in a day lol!
