I really don't know how it happened. I am a crafter - I've always been a crafter. I can thank my father for that - he's *still* making things! I grew up doing all kinds of crafts, and I think I get obsessed with each of them. So - now - it's knitting! I remember when I was young and my grandmother (my father's mother) came to visit. She taught me to knit while she was visiting. I made a baby sweater and booties. But - as soon as she went back to Massachusetts, I couldn't remember anything. So - I didn't knit anymore until about 5 years ago. I was living in Louisville at the time and my roommate took a class on knitting and she re-taught me. I'm blaming her.
Did you know there are knitting podcasts? Videos of regular people showing all of the fun things they've made. I had no idea... and now when I find a new one, then I have to binge-watch to catch up on all of the previous episodes. Who knew?
Things I have learned:
1. I am not a monogamous knitter. I work on more than one project at a time.
2. I'm a thrower, not a picker.
3. It's easy to buy too much yarn.
4. I have several PLOPs (projects in long-term or ongoing progress).
5. I have WIPs (works in progress) and FOs (finished objects).
6. There are not enough hours in the day to knit everything I want.
I completed my first sock the other day - and I am so proud! I have wanted to make a pair of socks, but was very afraid.
I cast on a cowl to participate in a Cowl KAL (knit along) - and there will be a different one for each month.
As soon as I figure out how to load pictures, I'll make sure and do that!
Now - go knit!
