What is so magical about Pattern knitting
The knitting becomes like a puzzle where one has to make sure that all the pieces, in this case stitches, are in the
right place to create the desired finish.
When you look at a pattern and you've picked your
colors, how's that going to look?
Sometimes I will neglect everything else just to see how that pattern looks.
You know, what form's it going to take, but how it's going to be . .
It's something that you worked at and you're completely satisfied; it's self-assuring.
The knitter becomes so engaged in the pattern she is knitting that it can be consuming to the point where other daily activities are put aside until she sees how the garment will eventually look.
This challenge becomes important when one is in the home for extended periods of time, or has limited opportunities available to work on something stimulating.
Patterned knitting becomes a mechanism to challenge one's mind and one's skill in the face of isolation, whether it is geographical, social or due to age.
The other important aspect of patterned knitting is that it takes more time than plain knitting to cover the same amount of space. It helps to fill or pass more time.
Once again, one can see how the knitters are deliberately knitting to pass their time.
Patterned knitting is an intentional choice the knitters make to fill their time; they require more than just the motions of knitting. Knitting is used to manage time as a part of an effort to manage their "selves."
For the knitters, knitting is part of a strategy for maintaining mental cohesion in the face of experiences (e.g. isolation and age) that might threaten
mental focusing and relaxation.
"You're more relaxed and your mind gets a chance to refresh". Another reason why women knit is that it allows them to relax and take their mind off of the worries, anxieties, and tribulations of everyday life. |

Perhaps these motifs are to big,
for your taste. Then try a tiny little motif. Great for baby clothes
too. Teeny-weeny baby-sized knitting motifs, perhaps you can personalize
it, for a baby-boy or baby-girl.
Flower motifs, floral motifs, ladybugs,
rabbits, butterflies, and many more. |
