Cute rodents, funny muzzle cleaning and zealously stuffing cheek bags, are not only related to the natural world! So they call people who are keen on knitting.
INTERESTING! Sometimes knitters are compared with spiders, which is not entirely correct: the name of the arthropod was presented not by a knitter, but by a weaver. Arachne, the heroine of Greek myth, managed to weave the very goddess Athena. And the angry Pallas turned her into an ugly creature, forever busy with weaving a web.
What do hamsters and knitters have in common?
Thrifty is a common trait of a rodent and a skilled craftswoman keen on knitting . We will observe the animals living in the cage: everything falling into the tenacious paws drags itself into the nest! This is not necessarily a supply of food: the animal “hamsters” (drags away to itself) indiscriminately toys from kinder surprises, ribbons, pieces of rags. Creating food bins, he does not know the measure, taking away in his swollen cheeks much more than is required.
So it is with experienced craftswomen: their supplies of materials for creativity always exceed the limit of what is required . They are able to spend the last money on another yarn of attracted yarn. They will then impose so much of it that it will look like the same hamster nest!
Sometimes their creative searches come to a standstill due to a glut of ideas. Endlessly buying magazines for knitters and collecting lifehacks on the Internet, they no longer know which project to grab onto . Fortunately, fleeing from such a state, they again clutch at the knitting needles - for them it is something like meditation.
In general, a hamster in the world of needlework is a person who devotes all his free time to knitting (crocheting), collecting patterns on forums and buying new yarn.
What are knitting hamsters
Based on observations on knitters forums, the “specialists” created a whole classification of needlewomen from the hamster family . Belonging to a particular class is determined by the severity of hamster syndrome . This is the name of the desire to systematize your acquisitions (materials, tools, knitting patterns) by topics, manufacturers and other sections.
At risk are already newcomers who have looked at the form in search of schemes. Most likely, later they will turn into true hamsters and will belong to one of the varieties.
Notable
They have all knitting accessories laid out in many boxes and chests, baskets and caskets, forming the backbone of the home interior.
Insolent
They spend all their free money, including the stash of their dearest half, on knitting supplies .
Nervous
They react very sharply when problems occur when downloading schemes.
"Vacuum cleaners"
They take everything without giving anything away: they pull off other people's schemes and do not share their own.
The description of all categories of hamsters leads to the question: are they healthy ?
IMPORTANT! Psychologists have long noticed: knitting calms and helps to cope with stress, disconnecting a person from the flow of information.
But is it worth it to plunge into this infectious needlework, endlessly disappearing on the forums of knitter hamsters?
What is a hamster?
Excessive dependence on knitting was jokingly nicknamed hamsterosis . "Ill" all the time lacks new ideas and patterns for knitting (although the ones collected earlier have not yet been implemented), I want to buy new yarn, which has nowhere to be folded. And on the bookshelves there is no room for any other literature than knitting manuals.
As a result, the process itself often turns out to be the tenth case.
How to be treated for a hamsterosis
Experienced "infected", realizing that the situation is becoming dangerous, have developed a set of rules that ensure a long and happy life in the world of knitting hamsters. All advice comes down to a single principle - periodically shake stocks.
- Instead of running after a new skein, rummage through what you bought earlier . Surely I will recall the idea for the sake of which a purchase was made. Implement it, experiencing the pleasure of a closed project!
- Do you need to go to the store? Buy exactly as much as you need for a particular thing, struggling with the temptation to grab something for the future .
TIP! If you really want to - buy not threads, but tools: new knitting needles, various convenient devices. The knitting process will go more fun!
- Do not grab new circuits from the Internet without understanding the old ones . Before you buy a book or magazine, scroll through the contents: maybe there is nothing new for you?
As you know, cleaning the cage of a hamster is done by its owners, throwing out everything hidden by a pet. No one will do this for a knitting hamster. It remains to show imagination, internally divided into "rodent" and "master". And let the "master" cope with the "pet", just as the "inner parent" - with the "inner child".
