After Jamie proudly declared herself a selfish knitter, we had to take the question to Young Makers Knit Night:
Are YOU a selfish knitter? 👀🧶
The answers ranged from dedicated gift knitters, to “medium selfish,” to people who have officially stopped knitting for anyone who doesn’t appreciate it.
And then there’s our winner: nine months pregnant, nothing knit for the baby, but Christmas mittens for herself are DONE. 😂
Honestly, we think there’s room for all of it. Knit for your friends. Knit for your family. Knit because you need a deadline. Knit something solely because you want it.
But now we need to know where everyone falls on the scale:
Gift knitter, balanced knitter, medium selfish… or VERY selfish knitter?
