I was having a discussion with a friend about knitting socks and was talking about showing them off and how everyone will want her to knit them a pair. I stated that she will respond with “nope, you are not sock worthy”. That made me think, what are your levels of knitting worthiness?
I have a few levels:
Hat/scarf worthy – almost anyone who is a friend and appreciates my knitting or makes complimentary remarks about my knitting. I will make them a hat or a scarf for a gift or sometimes by request.
Sock worthy – Not very many people reach this level, I have made a pair for my youngest daughter, but she never wore them so I took them back. I make them for my granddaughter, and she wears them whenever her mommy can find them and put them on her. So she is sock worthy. Pretty much anyone else who has been sock worthy I have just taught them to knit their own. I am sock worthy!
Sweater worthy – Nope! I knit sweaters for babies and that is it! I have made 1 sweater for me and I wore it a few times and frogged it because it was just too big. I haven’t gotten around to remaking it yet.
Shawl worthy – I am lace challenged. I am trying to work on it, but it usually fights back. I have 2 people I have tried to make shawls for, my mom and my bff. They are both still on the needles (note to self: buy replacement tips from knitpicks) and I will finish them…eventually. Maybe if I could ever perfect the lace thing without stabbing myself in the eye I will make more people shawl worthy.
So, my question to you is:
What are your levels of knit-worthiness?
