The knitting community is brilliant for bringing a handful of strangers together and making them friends.
When you knit, there's always a conversation starter if you find socialising hard. If you have long term health issues and can't always socialize in person. The online knitting community is always there for you.

It is the greatest feeling when you see a knitter on Youtube from the other side of the world knitting the same as you are, or reading the same book or listening to the same song ❤

I find the knitting community inspirational. I enjoy following the designers and makers of all the beautiful knitting projects and everything craft.

Knitting whilst watching knitting podcasts is total therapy for me. It lifts my mood, makes me feel part of a worldwide community and makes me proud of my creations.

I find the knitting community online a living place of pure creativity and magical inspiration. My comfort zone 🩵

My favourite part of the knitting community is that at my knit group I can be sat next to someone my age or younger or lots older and we get on fabulously regardless of age, just discussing what we are making and what we are doing generally. I love it :)

The online knitting community means a lot to me. I have lots of fun spending time with lovely podcasters while I knit along myself. It’s so inspirational to see so many people enjoying the craft I love! ❤

I have only discovered the knitting community about 3 years ago. I was so excited to find podcasts of knitting and have learned so much about yarn and patterns! It has become as much of a "hobby" for me as knitting!

[MoniqueEressea]

I love the online knitting community, they’re always quick to comment and to help if you’re stuck! Watching youtube vids really is an outlet and makes me feel less alone in my nerdiness over yarn.

I love the knitting community in real life and online, I love finding someone who has made the same thing you’ve made and then going through all the other things they’ve made and discovering more to add to your “to make” list!!

[shannonoconnor]

The online knitting community has been a game changer for my knitting. I’ve learned so many new to me techniques, found resources to help, and discovered so many incredible patterns. It’s rekindled my love and of knitting and given me a creative outlet.

The comminuty is by far the best aspect of being a knitter. Being at a festival and making friends whether you're at a workshop or standing in the toilet queue. Wherever you go having people ask what you're wearing or knitting. Always happy to share their knitting expertise or foibles. Knitters are just the best. ❤

[elaineoverton]

I find that the knitting community worldwide is awesome!! Knitters love to share tips, patterns etc. freely. We always have things in common to talk about and inspirations to aspire to!

The online community makes me feel like a cool and trendy person, and has helped me be confident in knitting everywhere and anywhere :)

[cathynewkirk]

Thanks for taking us along! What a fun festival. One of the best things about the knitting community is that we have this love for the craft and the fibers in common. I love being out in public, knitting, and meeting fellow knitters. We’re not strangers to each other!

[margaretmillar]

I enjoy the knitting community on YouTube. This is where I find so many new pattern inspirations to knit.

[marie-lougauthier]

My grandmother taught me how to knit and I love how the knitting community can bring different generations together!

[blindrootinhogs]

[wendycudd]

The knitting community online is inspiring, podcasts, Raverly everyone is always there to help and support.

I love how disability-friendly and intergenerational the knitting community is! I learned to knit from my Nana, and I've gotten to meet other people like me who use knitting to deal with chronic pain. I recently taught my mom how to knit, and it's been fun seeing her discover a lot of my favorite yarns and designers.
