Sometimes I think that "those" people would say that even if they
knew perfectly well that the world is full of knitters. After all,
they are trying to sell commercially knitted products, so they have
an interest in pretending nobody makes their own sweaters and hats.

I don't knit a lot at the moment since I am working on quilts for
grand-nieces and grand-nephews. However, before I retired I was
fortunate to have a job where nice sweaters and dressy slacks were the
usual office clothes for the women, and made all of my sweaters! I
used very good yarn and did my own designing, making an even mix of
stitch-pattern sweaters and color-pattern sweaters. I was able to make
much nicer sweaters than I could afford to purchase (if I could have
found them). We had hour-long lunch periods, and several of us would
bring a sandwich to eat and then sit around and work on knitting,
crochet, needlework, etc. and chat. Left-over bits and bobs of wools I
made up into hats, scarves, and mittens for needy children, and
left-over acrylics I made into sweaters for the little ones. I had a
lot of fun designing with the left-overs! Patterns I particularly
liked I wrote down and kept, and those I didn't enjoy a lot --- well,
they were OK, but at least the project was small and finished before I
was ready to tear out my hair! I learned a lot, had a lot of fun, kept
some needy children clothed and warm, and made some wonderful clothes
for myself. Hard to top that!
