I learned to knit in March of 2007 and fell in love. I took it up because a friend told me that knitting made him want to kill people less, and I needed something like that in my life.
My knitting goes through starts and stops, but I know it is something I will always do, and it is something that I miss doing when I’m not doing it enough. I usually have two or three projects going at the same time.
Besides the yarn and the activity and the finished product, the thing I really love about knitting is the community. Knitters are wonderful people and I have yet to meet one I didn’t like. When I started getting more involved in the knitting community and started hearing the puns and started talking about other interests with knitters on ravelry.com, my husband made the comment: “So you’ve always been a knitter, you just didn’t know it until now.”
I fit in as a knitter, and I get socks out of the deal – and my kid is going to have all the toques and mitts their little heart desires.
I look forward to growing as a knitter and taking more risks and getting new finished products out of it, and I hope to share some of those trials and tribulations here.
