I searched the net but did not found an explanation for “nah am Wasser gebaut” (built near the water) because I found your post so moving I got teary. It shows how much knitting and crafting strings together different periods of your life and how you evolved. I love that it still is important and a field of exploration for you (or so I “feel” you).
I learned knitting form my mother but never really paid attention, as I was too impatient (seems to be my common theme in my life) and only much much later learned to appreciate it after a detour over crochet (which I learned form my husband). My grandmothers both were too old to teach me knitting or any other craft, but I remember that one liked to embroider and the other always made me tiny dolls with clothes for them <3

Hello there, @neumannsalva, my lovely artist friend 😍.
I am learning continental knitting right now (in between finish it February, although I have nearly finished or otherwise disposed of all my undone knitting tasks) and it reminded me of when I first learned to knit (so called "English knitting"). I feel, really, that I am only just starting to understand, to evolve, those early experiences. It is such a pleasure 😍.
(Actually, I'm learning Norwegian style 😂).
It's interesting how we learn things from others and the culture and memories and love that is transmitted through artefacts like tiny dolls or tiny vests.
