I started knitting five years ago, when my friend from Switzerland was knitting a sweater for a boyfriend. I asked her to teach me. So she casted on and did the first row and taught me to knit. She made me knit for a very long time, to get me to practice. Things happened, and I stopped. Last October, I felt the urge to knit again when I found the pair of Bamboo needles she gave me. I taught myelf how to cast on via youtube, and the rest is history. I have taken a beginners class at my LYS, and have been loving it ever since!
I look forward to learning new things and eventually make something I can wear. But I know my current limits!
