Do all women go through a knitting stage?

[purplepoppy]

It's never really appealed to me personally, but I've noticed most women seem to go through a period in their lives where they feel the need to knit something. It's like some long dormant gene gets awoken and the urge to knit a jumper takes over.

It's not something that just inflicts old grannies either, even teen girls have been known to hear the call of the knitting needle.

Usually it lasts a couple of jumpers and a scarf then the wool gets stuck back of the cupboard and they return to being normal.

Have you ever held a ball of wool, in a nice shade of pastel pink? It imitates the womb, the long dormant desire to replicate and leave some part of us behind. The soft wool against the sharp needles like the gentle act of intercourse against the violent act of childbirth. And what do we put on the baby that appears? Mittens, jumpers, socks. Knit me a dildo cover. Knit me a g-string. Knit me a banner to take to a anti-abortion rally. None of us want knitting needles in our eyes but most of us want the wool pulled over, gently wrapped around our necks in that pale pastel pink, blending to the flesh until one day, he pulls, sharply, and severs the head of a girl - strapped into his makeshift puppet show. Glorified execution of the softest blade. Don’t you want to be held back by wool, stopping you creating such a mess of your life? I’ve made my mess. I’ve knitted my scarf. I want out of this womb, untangled from the knots. It’s done. Over. Severed. Cast off. Bye.

Hahaha the timing of this.. Chick down the block that works at the laundromat in the neighborhood owed me a few bucks and called the other day to tell me she was gonna drop it off when she was done at the laundry, then she said she was sitting there knitting a blanket cuz she just took up knitting lolol I mean my grandma taught us when we were little but I've never been one out knit, well not so far anyways

Each human has period where they over think are worried and extremely stressed. A good hobby like knitting can come very handy in such times. It is so detail oriented. It allows us to slow down like in deep meditation mode. It can allow us to untangle our most tangled thoughts above is what I think and believe about knitting. Have yet to put in practice and take observation to compare with above.

Thank you purple poppy for MHO.

My ex went through a "knitting phase". Actually, she went through a lot of "phases", come to think of it 🤔

[FreyaRed]

I have enough knitting in my job while making denture imprints. I don't think I will ever have such a phase, it's like a gynecologist who doesn't want finger his wife.

I learned at a very young age around 10-13. My grandma taught me. I forgot everything.

[InsidiousCookie]

I've a few friends that are women who are currently knitting jumpers for their nephews.

[Iron_Man]

Lol I thought that was for old ladies but I guess younger girls can do it to. I’ll be watching TV while your knitting

[Iron_Man]

Or I’ll just go out with the boys and watch a football game or Play sports in the park While you my friend are knitting

[Wiredone]

Not all women do knitting. I know several women who never tried knitting

[MysteriousDarkness]

Not all women. Some do other kinds of arts & crafts or none at all.
