Q1: No fame. No one ever got famous knitting. (Ok, I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find someone, but srsly, no.) Seasons is an obvious one. If someone is knitting a rug or afghan and it's summer, they should get an overheated moodlet. Good moodlets for winter, both when wearing knitted things and when making them. Could maybe have an "ugly sweater party" as a social event or "wear ugly sweater" as a holiday event, like for Winterfest. Cats and Dogs: Cat in the knitting basket! Cat steals yarn. Cat being cat. You get the idea.
Being able to make toys for both cats and dogs. University skill class! Don't know if making it an elective is a good idea, but something to consider.
Q2: I can both knit and crochet and I don't care if they share an animation. I mean, sure it would be nice if they each had their own, but eh, that's not a hill I care to die on.
Q3: I have never in my life knitted at a desk. On the sofa, in bed, on the bus, but not at a desk. However, I could see value in sitting at the knitting desk to plan out projects and sort through yarn.
Q4: I am very rusty, but back when I was knitting a lot more than I do now, I could crank out a scarf in a few hours. Sweaters took me weeks, but that was fitting it in around school and work. Afghans...I did a king sized one once and it took me six months. So, yes, longer than painting. Should be something one can multitask doing, though, like knitting in front of the TV.
Q5: Standing knitting is absolutely a thing. No problemo. Bag over arm, yarn coming out of bag.
Q6: I taught myself to knit, as all four of my grandparents died before I was born and my mom didn't knit. I looked up knitting in the encyclopedia (this was the early 80s, Youtube wasn't a thing) and sat there with the needles, a ball of yarn, and the encyclopedia. I would be THRILLED if sims could sit with a skill book and fumble knitting, or sit in front of the computer with a SimTube video and fumble knitting. I would also be good with Mom or Dad or Grandma or Grandpa teaching a child/teen/adult to knit, but given how I learned, I would love it if there were animations other than just reading the skill book.
Q7: I have only gifted my projects to family and friends or done it for myself, so I don't have a lot to contribute here.
Q8: Well, itching, for one (borrow the Get to Work itching animation!) and the uncomfortable moodlet that goes with it. Embarrassed moodlet with a blurb like "I know a lot of work went into this sweater, but OMG it is so ugly! When can I take this thing off?" Also there should be both a friendly and a mean interaction to tease the sim wearing the ugly sweater. Self-assured sims could maybe be immune to being embarrassed by the sweater? Maybe a confident moodlet saying something like "(Sim) is proud to wear the sweater that some sim lovingly made for them. So what if other sims are laughing? They're just jealous!"
Q9: I am not good with the wordplay. All I've got is using "Wooled" for "would" and "ewe" for "you" (since wool comes from sheep). Although in Sims world I would guess that it might be the llamas that provide the wool?
Q10: While spreading the knitting would be in character for a level 10 skill knitter, I would prefer it to only be a directed action. When that type of action is autonomous it goes viral, and next thing you know everyone you see on every community lot everywhere will be knitting, and that has potential to be game-breaking.
