ASPIRATION - LORD/LADY OF KNITS

4 level aspiration

Level 1 - Humble Knitter

Level 2 - Thread Setter

Level 3 - Dream Weaver

Level 4 - Lord/Lady of the Knits

Reward Trait - Sacred knitting Knowledge

Gives sims the ability to knit Yarny and The forbidden sweater

Yarny is a playable toy and can randomly teleport

Forbidden sweater gives a few moodlets and also gives rise to the seater curse moodlet ( I am yet to play this out)

Overall I really loved this pack because I love crafting in game and it did give me a few hours of enjoyment. This pack totally fits my playstyle but may not be up everyone's alley. The visual of a sim rocking gently on a rocking chair and quietly knitting away gave me a very relaxing vibe!
