A1: I think being able to sell knitted items in a yard sale or using the retail store would be great - whereby, crafted items which are great to excellent quality and sells at a mid to high price could gain exposure and fame. Also, being able to create a knitting club would be great.
A2: I would be somewhat happy with crochet-like objects being craftable through knitting. I would be more happy if crochet had unique animations - obviously because crocheting is quite different from knitting. But I understand it can't be guaranteed, so I would be fine with it.
A3: True, I don't knit at a desk either, but what would be cool is if sims could purchase knitting patterns and when they are learning from the new pattern they sit at the desk with the pattern displayed in front of them and after knitting the same pattern for the second or third time they no longer have to sit at the desk with the pattern any longer; and then they could get a sort of "knitted from memory" moodlet, or something like that.
A4: MONTHS!! :D Honestly, I started crocheting a doily for my mum, and I still haven't finished it - and I started that about 5 years ago!!! Anyway, being able to come back to finish a knit that a sim has just started would be good; and I wouldn't want my sim learning to knit to be really grindy - but yes, to make it a little longer than learning to paint is a must. Because when just starting out it does take a while to get the hang of it, and I don't know if it is just for me, but when I first started to learn to knit, it did hurt my fingers a little, because I would hold the knitting needles a little to tightly. So if sims got a +1 uncomfortable moodlet when first learning to knit would be amazing.
A5: Yes, to knit standing up would be good, but only for teens/young adults-adults. Not elders or children.
A6: I actually learned from my mum, who was very patient with me. One day when we were in the haberdashery section of James Selby (or as they are now called "Selbys") - James Selby is a department store in Nag's Head, London, UK. Anyway, we were in the haberdashery section and I asked if she knew how to knit, which she did - but only basic knitting, and I asked if she could teach me. So that day I bought I think it was a 500g wool yarn - in lilac, of course, because lilac is my favourite colour; and 4.0mm knitting needles which totalled like £4.50 back then - this was back in like 2005, or something like that, when things were cheaper than what they are now. And that day she taught me how to cast on, and how to knit plain and purl stitches. Then a year or so after that I bought a book about knitting and crochet and continued to teach myself using that. Don't ask me to knit or crochet anything now, though, because although I still know how to do it, I am very rusty and I would have to give myself a complete refresher course; because I haven't knitted or crocheted in years now.
Back to your question though, to have a proper interaction where the sim teaching and the sim learning sits down with the knitting needles and shows the learning sim how to cast on and start knitting a stitch and then the sim undoes it and passes the needles to the learning sim and has to cast on with guidance from the teacher if they are doing it incorrectly. Something along those lines.
A7: Never done that. But, that is making me think that I should dust the cobwebs off of my knitting and crochet needles and try and start a side business. Not that I'm that great of a knitter or crocheter.
A8: Have an itchy sweater moodlet. Or if the sim had the itchy jumper knitted and gifted to them from a grandparent or parent, the moodlet could also say "My mum/grandma made me wear this." with an unhappy emotion which only lasts for like 40 sim seconds. To see the sim uncomfortable and scratching at the jumper and set intervals would be good, until they get used to the itchy sweater.
A9: I am drawing a blank - honestly, sarcasm is more my forte; especially when I'm at work.
A10: I think for family it should be somewhat autonomous, but only for the sims who have the artistic or craft lovers trait. Gameplay-wise it could work whereby if a sim is knitting a child could approach the sim, interested in what they are doing; and then the sim who is knitting could teach them how to knit. Also, if there is an elder who is knitting, but has the mean or lazy trait, it could take a couple attempts of family sims to approach the elder before the elder caves and teaches them how to knit. But for sims who are strangers to the played sim, it shouldn't be autonomous, it should be user-directed.
However, one way which I wouldn't mind for a stranger sim to autonomously learn to knit from other sims would be through a knitting club. Also, for a sim to offer classes in knitting - for a price, of course; would be cool.
And that's all she wrote!! I'm excited to see how this pack turns out.
