Knitting: New Savior of Teens?

                How many scarves do you have? Were they hand knitted? That seems to be the new “it thing” for teens nowadays other than partying.  Honestly, I am proud of the teens that have stepped out of the “norm” and took up a new hobby that is much safer than what most teens are doing lately. These kids are the ones on the right track. They spend their nights sitting by fires with all their friends drinking coffee and knitting.

                From knitting for their cats to knitting for their friends, they use their talent and spare time not embarrassing themselves or their generation and bonding with some of their best friends with common interest. So why has this former grandma hobby turned into a hit activity for mellow teens?

                Popularity like always. It started with one person finding knitting relaxing or fun and doing it around or showing their product to their friends. Their friends then catch on and end up liking the activity themselves. Those friends then become addicted to the activity with their other friends and it catches on to the hearts of even more people than before. It then ends up trending and you see it all over social media sites. It’s either that they made something for someone; they’re wearing something someone made for them, or even the act of doing it themselves.

                Whether this trend has caught you yet or not, you should give props to the people who are staying away from general teenage activities of the weekend and maybe even try it out yourself.
