Maybe you ask yourself; “Why do I have to use bead knitting patterns?”. That question may seem simple to answer at first, but if you look closer to why you should use bead knitting patterns or not, it has several solutions and depending on from what perspective you look, the advantages and benefits as well as the disadvantages and maybe even dangers that comes with using bead knitting patterns differ a lot. I myself think that both using bead knitting patterns and using freeknitting stitches and knitting by heart, as to say, is both fun and challenging from time to time. I’m not saying that you should always use bead knitting patterns and I’m neither saying that you should never knit by patterns. It’s up to everyone to decide for themselves what they think about using bead knitting patterns and you don’t have to have an exclusive view.
Most of us probably think that sometimes, like when you’re about to knit something new that you have never done before, it’s safer to use bead knitting patterns, you make less mistakes and you waste less material because you have this pattern to follow and you can make up a plan on how to start, continue and finish your new knitting project. Using bead knitting patterns asks more from you sometimes; you have to consider more variables and really think and concentrate while you knit. Knitting without bead knitting patterns, on the other hand, gives you more freedom to just let your thoughts float away and to get into a more meditative state of mind which can be very nice and relaxing. Maybe you even forget that you’re knitting (without bead knitting patterns, that is, otherwise you have to concentrate on this)at the moment because a fact is that when you occupy your physical parts and your body, your psychological properties can rest and walk their own ways.
When you knit and don’t use bead knitting patterns, you get more freedom to vary your stitch work along the way, to change and adjust your project according to what you think and feel when you see how it starts to look. Bead knitting patterns will kind of lock you in a place where you can’t change so much because if you don’t follow the bead knitting patterns, you won’t know where you’ll end up. So there are both lots of good things about using bead knitting patterns,m just as there are several things that you may not like too much when knitting. You’re free to do exactly as you wish and I think that the best solution is to sometimes use bead knitting patterns and sometimes not. This way you’ll vary your knitting and you’ll enjoy it for a longer time. I always keep some new bead knitting patterns among my knitting tools and material, then I can choose whether I want my next knitting project to be free or to a higher degree decided in advance.
