I was wondering if anyone would be interested to learn how to knit or crochet? And if there might be any interest in one over the other?

[Axel]
If I were to spin some yarn together would you be interested in selling yarn at the general store?

[Barty]
Weird thing just happened. My nameplate on the ranch ruins? It's gone.

	I would like to learn. [MARGOLISES] Oh, really? I told you the island wouldn't make you live in a pile of rubble. Maybe it wants you to stay at the tower with me!. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Which one do you want to learn first? Knitting is the one with two needles, crochet is the one with a single hook. [MARGOLISES] Has the island changed it's mind about these things before? Maybe! Or maybe I should take a look around the new town? Are you at the tower right now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which one us harder? [MARGOLISES] I'm not sure? People have taken other people's houses before. I'm at the shop right now, would you like company? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Complicated question. Knitting is more structured with rules you have to follow or else it's probably going to look bad. Crochet has rules too you can get away with bending the rules a bit more without it being too obvious.

However, knitting is like grounded onto your needles where as crochet is a little bit more free form creating your foundation chain sort of in the air which can be mind boggling to some people.

[MARGOLISES]
Oh, I didn't realize you could do that.

Want to meet at Toby's Inn and portal over to the other town? Doesn't have to be right now, I wanted to start making a trash pile of some of the rotted wood over here. What time are you closing today?

Which one do you like better?

[MARGOLISES]
Yeah, Sea Witch took the chicken leg house with Baba Yaga on it, but Baba Yaga isn't here, so.

Sounds good! I can just put up a "Be Back Soon" sign. Apparently the wisps will help run the shop anyway if I ask them to? I just thought they were hanging out to keep me company.

Do you want me to bring you a cappuccino or are you sick of cappuccinos?

	I prefer knitting for hats, gloves, scarves and sweaters. And crochet for making stuffed animals and blankets. [MAROLISES] Give me a couple hours to finish up here and then bike back down. I think I'm good for today. Though I am not completely sick of cappuccinos yet. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How hard are they to learn in general? [Sheep Twin] I would. What payment would you want for it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mirroreffect 2022-04-20 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't think either was very hard to pick up. My grandmother started me on knitting first. [Axel] What types of payment are on offer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finger dexterity? [Sheep Twin] It's your yarn. I'll sell it for whatever you want me to. I'd prefer not to sell anything for cash after May, but that's your choice. Diana, who has a similar arrangement, asked me to drive hard bargains and she wants cash and favors for her products. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's probably important. I guess if you have a hard time holding things steadily it might be hard? [Axel] Would promises of labor work? Like minimum payment is 1 hour of helping me out on the ranch? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I prefer knitting for hats, gloves, scarves and sweaters. And crochet for making stuffed animals and blankets. Which kind of item do you think would be more exciting to make? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	For you, I'm interested. But literally the only thing I know about knitting and crocheting is what you just told Barty. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Newcomers are very welcome. Who knows, you might get hooked! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was a knitting pun, right? NO WAIT [...] crocheting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See, I'm already learning a ton. Look at you go, teach. (Reply to this) (Parent)
