Perhaps one good thing came out of that I learned knitting so late… I only bought interchangeable needle tips :-DDD
At first I loved having super long cables because I was so afraid to loose stitches, now I prefer shorter once in generell, so that I also often pull out a loop of the too long cable, as I bought more long cables in the beginning instead of the shorter ones I need today. But I fear the problem only comes because I have so many open projects on shorter cables waiting to get knit…

Interchangeable needles are perfect. I wasn't sure I am into knitting that much after 10 years. If I could go back to 10 years ago, I would advice me to invest money on interchangeable needles 😁
I wish I can borrow you some of my needles via Hive ....... Ja but even I have so many needles, I often miss 3-5mm ones as I like yarn of that thickness. That's knitting!
Isn't it strange that some needles sizes are so much more important than others? I also use 3 - 5 mm the most and in crocheting 4 - 5,5 mm. Especially my 4 mm crochet hooks are kind of rebellious, they are always missing. I suspect they have formed a colony somewhere in out flat and live secretly to avoid being used by me 😂
And yes sharing tools would be lovely (I also dream of sharing sewing books with you… perhaps we really need to find a project together which get funded, so that we can visit again)
I was laughing alone at home ... secret colony of needles 😂They might do party in the night time while I'm sleeping. Ja, sewing books exchange would be nice too. We must find something. I ask my partner he knows something about funding. He is good at finding the kind of information 😉
Yes, let's rule the world with art (and funding :-DDD) perhaps we could make a animation film about our needles and hooks procreating behind our sofas at night ... hmmmm.... i start to like this idea (I am making fun with the needles, but the idea to start something together was meant in honest, I really think it would be great to combine talents)
Needle animation would be super cute 💕I'll say good night to them (and enjoy party) before I go to bed tonight.
Talking about knitting and art, I think about implementing a knitting AI for long, which I proposed to Japanese funding program one year ago and was kicked out in the final proposal presentation 😅
Or another idea I proposed to an artist in residence program in Lithuania ............. in 2017 !? Time pasts so fast!
Ohhhh love your illustration!!! And I am hugely curious about your knitting AI idea, and asked myself if its for pattern or for free form for handknit or machine knit (so many questions... it really sounds fascinating) Is there any chance to apply for in Germany?
I have wondered about those. I only have one set of round needles and I don't really like them but it might be because of the rigidity of the cable. Most of my needles were passed down to me from my grandmothers.
I think rigidity is different by brands or lots. I found I like Lana Grossa circular needles than that of Addi, another popular brand in Germany. And ja, it's nice you have needles from your grandma. I wonder where are my mother's and grandma's ... I only have some baking tins from my mother 😉
Thank you for the tip on brands.
