Whether you knit big or small...

From the lens Big Girl Knits.

Knitting has been part of my life since grade school. I remember being taught the basic knit and purl by my mother who was an avid knitter of slippers and dishcloths. Like many other hobbies in my life I ventured out on my own to learn other techniques. I made my first Nordic sweater for my boyfriend when I was eighteen, which must have made a great impression because now he's my husband. Teaching myself to read patterns was probably the hardest part of learning how to knit but when I finally learned how I couldn't believe how easy. Something just clicked. This also transferred into my crochet, which I may love even more.

Share a short note about your first knitting experiend, this lens or the cosmos in general. I especially like to see warm fuzzies (don't we all).

Have a delightful day!

    I learnt to knit at boarding school - every evening a group of us would embroider or knit for 40 minutes whilst a teacher would read aloud to us - it was very enjoyable - we got through a lot of sewing and a lot of books in my five years there.
