How Long Have You Been Knitting?
Recently Novaks8 asked me how long I've been knitting. I'm very sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I was taught almost 3 years ago (Dec 2002) by my mom who at the time said "Wow, you're knitting awfully tight but you'll loosen up". I guess I did because now my gauge is always spot on. She has a great dishcloth pattern which I used, knit a few and then quickly moved on to a fuzzy fun fur scarf which has long since gone to charity. I did a lot of digging on the internet and purchased a few basic knitting books that next spring (2003). Then I took a sock knitting class in September 2003 and have been hooked on those ever since. I also love knitting felted items but have yet to knit a garment, any suggestions for a 1st? I'm very lucky to have a few great friends who knit since knitting with friends is much better than knitting alone and they're smart too, I ask them for help all the time.

As you all know, my kitchen cotton stash has grown lately.

I love hearing how others learned how to knit. My start was back in 1st grade, deep in the basement of my school in Germany with a very scary old teacher. I cried, I wanted to drop out of school. I somehow still managed to knit alot for my Barbies and dolls. Then in 8th grade enter another school knitting class, but add to that a wonderful Austrian (where I lived then) lady who was an amazing knitter. She passed on her love of knitting and her love of kids to me. I spend many hours in her kitchen playing with her kids and knitting away and hanging above us at all times were socks drying. (how I wish I had a picture of that!). Every year I seem to learn new techniques, find new yarn, and the love affair grows stronger.
