BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Knitting Does anyone KIP - knit in public?

Yes, I do, as my one grandson says knit,knit, knit

I think KIP is getting more and more common, especially since we all spend so much time waiting.

I knit everywhere, and especially at meetings. Very relaxing. Just last week I was at our local Coop dinner and knitted all the way through it. Of course I had to put the needles down to eat, but the knitting kept me from overeating, which in my case is as easy as an apple pie:)
Cheers

I actually started knitting after my second child was born to keep my hands busy so I would stop eating for two!

Good afternoon, girls! How I envy you all that you knit. I recorded a number of sites with great interest I read blogs on knitting, and only dream that I knit ... but I can not afford to buy yarn because I get benefit invalidnosti.I live more than economically.My sometimes seems that the world is injustice.I last artist-designer, I have many ideas and could even earn knitting two buterbroda.Knitting it's not hard for me because I'm sick myasthenia gravis. Sorry, it's hard to cope with depression ... I'm just stuck, I do not know how I can help my daughter.

Elena, I hope you are having a good day. We are also on a very tight budget, so I have to be creative in obtaining yarn. All of my knitting is gifts for family/friends and to donate.

I have a few friends who knit and crochet and we often trade the yarn we don't like or can't use. We all make items to donate. When other friends and family found out what projects we were working on, the yarn started coming in and hasn't stopped in 2 years.

Ask people if they have yarn they will not be using and tell them what you want to make. I also do a lot of bartering for yarn. I'll help with something and yarn is shared as payment. If you ask, they can only say yes or no, and I'm hopeful you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was with the response.

Those are great ideas, and often you can find yarn very inexpensively in thrift shops.

I hope today you are feeling better, glad to have you on the boards!

Yes, absolutely! I knit in Starbucks, in hospital waiting rooms ....

In fact, it was knitting in public that helped to get my grandaughter to take an interest in knitting. While she and her brother spent some of the summer holidays with us, she was so pleased to be sending pictures back to mum of her knitting in public

Oh yes, all the time! It's amazing how many people watch me!

If I had a nickel for every time someone said to me, oooh I just don't have time for knitting, I'd be rich...I want to ask them don't you watch t.v.?
