I keep knitting shawls. I don’t even wear shawls. #MysteriesOfLife

Too funny! They are beautiful

I’m no knitter, but a couple of our daughters knit and so does my mom. My wife not so much. One can do all sorts of things while knitting. So I’ve observed.

Thanks, Catherine! I was thinking I should list them on Etsy or something. 🙂

Kirk, yes! I think that’s why I knit so much; I can’t just sit and watch TV with the family, I have to do something with my hands…draw or knit or crochet. 🙂

Yes, list them on Etsy! Or wherever you can because they are beautiful. I find, looking at the local crafters group on FB, soapers are a dime a dozen, but knitters, holy crap, everybody wants to buy their stuff.

Nothing better than hand crafted Teresa they are beautiful. Have you got an Etsy shop already? If so Im in there too and would follow you. I crochet as my hobby when my hands get tired of painting and sketching. There is nothing better, i use to just do scarves but got bored and so now I make little amigurumi animals, so much fun and every body wants one.

They remind me of sherbet, Robin! 🙂

Really? People want to buy knitted goods, Monica? Soaps, I think, are nicer since you use them up.

Thanks, Cindy! I inherited the yarn stash from my mom when she died; she loved to knit, too.

Oooh, Kath, you must give me your shop name; I will follow you, too. I’m there under TeresaRobeson (I think…I’ve not tried to sell anything there in years; I was selling soaps and ceramics for a while). I love amigurumi animals!

They’re beautiful! How do you find the time to knit? I was a knitter. I am so close to finishing my first sweater but I never seem to have the time to do it. It’s been in the closet since I gave birth to my son. We’re going on almost 9 yrs. now.

LOL, Robin! I knit when I’m watching tv with the family. I’m a little distracted and can’t do just one thing at a time. Plus, I like working with my hands while I’m just watching something passively. 🙂 You probably never waste time watching tv, which is why you haven’t knitted in a while.

I watch mindless TV before bed. Wish I could knit at the same time but am usually just so wiped out from putting my son to bed.

People only like CP soaps for the most part it seems, and knitting seems like magic to a lot of people, hence why knitting is so popular with non-knitters.

I have to keep my hands busy while watching TV too. I don’t knit, I doodle. I find it relaxing probably like knitting. A friend of mine likes to knit scarves and gives them away. I think you will find a place for your shawls when an opportunity presents itself and you are open to it. 😊

Beautiful, Teresa! I hope you find a place to sell them, if you’re so inclined. Sounds like a perfect add to your Etsy shop!

Robin, one day, and it comes all too soon, your son will put himself to bed (or be out late with friends) and you’ll have the energy to knit while watching TV. 🙂

Monica, you need to tell people when you’re selling (maybe say so on your site, too), that MP soaps are just CP soaps but with tons more moisturizing glycerin and artistry. 🙂
Knitting is a little like magic…how can 2 sticks and a string of yarn possibly make a hat? 😀 But so is soap-making. How can lye and fats turn into something that is cleansing and non-fatty? Well, okay, it’s called chemistry, not magic (but chemistry might as well be magic to some people).

I had thought about gifting the shawls, but I only know one other person who wears them and she’s is an expert knitter/crocheter who makes her own. 🙂 Maybe I’ll have to make more friends who like shawls. LOL! Doodling while watching TV is great, too. I do that when it’s too dark in the evenings for me to see the yarn well. 🙂

Aww, thanks, Laura! I’ll see if I ever open shop again. Sometimes, it’s more hassle to sell things than to give them away. I love gifting. 🙂

Very, very pretty :-). I knitted something once for my Barbie but it isn’t my thing. Do you knit shawls or scarves or both? I think a lot of people would like to wrap themselves in such lovely colors on a cold day.

Thanks, Myriam! I’ve knitted a couple of scarves before, but mostly I knit socks because they’re small enough for me to tote around easily. 🙂
