[Karametra]

I knew I was a fiber artist when I became the go-to person to ask ‘can you make (fill in blank with whatever they’re looking for)’

[HookedByMarilyn]

I knew I was a fiber artist when everything I saw made me think “I could knit that”.

Me: same but with crochet!

[Bigstickgear]

…I learned my first stitch!

[mpcrochet]

I knew I was a fiber artist when I realized how much space my yarn was taking up

Me: when ever I go to the shop and always get sidetracked with yarn

“I knew I was a Fiber Artist when my lily pad was more yarn than lily pad”

I realized it when i started tripping over yarn on my floor

[LuckyBunny]

I knew I was I fiber artist when I went on a shopping spree in the store of my choice and chose my local craft store.

For me, it was really similar, except it was a local yarn store and they gave me a knitting lesson. It clicked immediately and I was able to make a bunch of other stuff.

“I knew I was a fiber artist when I searched up what yarn was made of”
I discovered I was a fiber artist when someone in my familly was talking about how I crochet then I searched it up and found out it was a fiber art so I realized it was a fiber art​that’s why I guessed that probably wrong​

My sentence: “I knew I was a Fiber Artist when..”

Continuing ribbot… “I wanted a community that cared about it like I do, when I couldn’t find one I made it myself”

For me: “I knew when I saw the joy my mum (important info, my mum is 5ft 11”) lighted up with joy when I gave her the scarf of her dreams one long enough to wrap around 2-3 times and still reach her knees, wide enough to use as a hood and scarf, or a hood and shawl, she kept telling me all the new ways she tried to use it, how she never really realized just how much it meant to have something actually made for HER and personalized to what she wanted (she picked out the yarn she wanted color/variegation, texture, size, material, she picked out her dream stitch, she got to choose how wide she wanted it, and every 110yrds (each skein was that size) I’d show her the length until it was the size she dreamed of) and for months she kept telling me all about the new ways she could use her scarf, how other people (shorter) had all these “hacks” for their scarves to make them more versatile but because she was so tall they never worked or fit right, & finally she had a scarf that did all those “hacks” and more, she always knew she wanted longer scarves then stores sold, but she didn’t realize quite how much until she truly had one that was made specifically for her as an individual, seeing that joy come from someone I love and knowing I was the one who helped make that happen made me want to never stop making things that made people feel seen & comfortable in their own things, especially when I saw how much joy something as simple as a scarf that was personally made to fit them the way they wanted, how many other things could I make that made someone feel that way, that’s when I knew I wanted to be a fiber artist in crochet specifically that is, I have a whole other story for embroidery

“I knew I was a fiber artist when I could finally advance beyond chains to actually crochet projects with my grandma.”

For me, it took trying a quick crochet class at a Fandom fair. Having never even held a hook beforehand, I may have let a tear or two slip from my eye. From then on, however, I was determined to overcome the Star Trek patch challenge that had come my way and watched every YouTube video I could find on the topic or mystical crochet. I knew I was a fiber artist when I was finally able to turn my skills into a small business.

When I found yarn everywhere !

(At least this was my realisation )

[huhbla]

when I saw a CROCHET stall at a fair

[StichOfFortune]

I knew I was a fiber artist when, I should my friends a crochet pattern and none of them understood anything I was saying about it!!!

I knew I was a fiber artiest when, I pick up a braceley kit and accidently somehow, learned how to crochet with the string.

I was litterally watching the trolls movie for the first time so I guess I got distracted, and decided that that right then was the perfect time to make a obsession!!!

[Olivieee]

I new I was a fiber artist as soon as I felt the urge to ‘steal’ my moms hook and yarn (she gave up on crocheting a WHILE ago)

[PkCrochet]

I knew I was a Fiber Artist when a crochet hook appeared in front of me!

There never really was a specific aha! moment where I realized I was a fiber artist…kinda just…oozed into it?

[ADHDstitchery]

I knew I was a fiber artist when I had more than one shopping bag of yarn that didn’t have projects planned for them.

For me-I realized I was a fiber artist when I learned to crochet (I learned to knit first).
