Handmade knit clothing and gifts

But my happiness didn't last for long: its gone as soon as last inch of the yarn from that tiny ball my cousin gave me... it was no way my mom would want to buy yarn for 5 year old kid (she probably, thought that moment it will not work out and didn't want to spend money for expensive yarn). After asking my mom about yarn few times, I understood that if I ever got any yarn it won't be in the nearest future. As most kids I did believe in magic, and I wished that someday a fairy will come and bring me a HUGE bag of hanks and balls...Meanwhile, I was using that tiny ball over and over to keep remember what I've learn.

Few years later, not the fairy, but my aunt came from other country to visit us and she brought with her a lot of yarns (she was a professional knitter and didn't stop to knit even while traveling). She saw me being so interesting in the knitting that she decided to assist me with knitting and share her wisdom with me... She taught me how to knit hats, socks, sweaters... I learned many different stitch designs and techniques. She taught me how to design my own things and make my own patterns... Also, she suggested if we can afford to buy yarn, then we can turn any old knitted stuff (not used any more) to yarn and how to work with this kind of thread....Since that time, I've started to knit for myself and my family.
Thanks to all this knowledge I got from my aunt, all clothes (including even first ones) always were not just wearable, but looked nice and unique, luckily for me, and this encourage me even more...

With each piece my skills improved, and soon I was enjoying to produce knitted gifts not only for members of my family, but for my friends too. My mom was so proud of me and my achievements. Even our neighbors started to order something occasionally, despite the fact that I was still a child.
Years passed. I got married, then immigrated with my husband to America ... Very soon after our arrival, I've realized that in America you can buy everything, including a different kind of handmade stuff. It's discouraged me a little to take orders, having so many competitors, but for my child I was still knitting, believing in that what my aunt once told me: a clothes made by loving person will keep you not only warm, but happy, healthy, wealthy!
And after I've received a couple of compliments how nice clothes my child wearing and question where did I bought them, I decided why not to start earn some money from my skills and knowledge, while staying with my kid at home.
