Knitting Skills

I'd like to propose that Glitch gets a set of fiber related skills, specifically, knitting. I've discussed this several times on global, and have yet to hear an objection. For raw materials, sheep would be ideal, but chicken feathers would work too (Pluck) or caterpillar silk (Wind). The items knitted could be special ones that are not normal clothing, so as not to compete with the Wardrobe. They could include magic underwear or mood-enhancing hats. IF glitch did this, it would certainly set it apart from any other game out there, and appeal to a large group of interested people that rarely have anything target to them. Already, Ravelry has a group just for Glitchen, and besides, who doesn't want a cuddly sheep in their backyard? I'd love to hear suggestions and feedback, this is such a creative community!

  • Oohh sounds lovely. I'd like to knit my own Christmas stocking. But sheep are great. Must be done.

  • I'd like a few knitting things IN the wardrobe, as well. It wouldn't be that different from free clothes.

  • Not sheep.  Frog hairs.

  • I like it! +1, as they say.

    Maybe you could have something to put in your inventory with 3 slots that serves to "equip" such player made clothing. Call it a garment bag or something. It would be a carrying case like the toolboxes, but items placed in it render their effects (ie. the mood-giving underwear).

  • Ok, anyone who wants to join a group to promote this, we now have Stitching and Glitching.  I'd like to help campaign for sheep in Glitch, and also just talk about knitting (or crochet or fiber arts)! www.glitch.com/groups/RHVE6...

  • You should be able to create wool which can be combined to make clothing so you dont have to use credits
    Great idea! Id love to see it

  • The Knitches group has been around for a while... join!

    Glitches keep imagining knitting, but the giants haven't quite caught up to us yet.  It would be fun to create our own multi-color designs via a mini game, and then use them to decorate our homes and the like.

  • I am a huge fan of all these ideas. Sheep! (Please?)

  • Yeah! But it would be fun if you'll get wool NOT from sheep but from some other animal.
