When I was a little girl, my mother decided I needed to learn how to do a few things. When I was about 4, she had my sister teach me how to do basic beadwork. Right around the same time my mother taught me how to crochet. Basic crochet. And for years I just made scarfs, and out I made them out of cheap acrylic yarn that I got at wal-mart or some place like that.
Then one day I decided I was going to try and make a sweater for a little teddy bear that I owned. It turned out all right, as I remember, I don't know what happened to it.
About 8 years ago I told my mom one night that I was going to try and make a mitten, I made one that night crocheting, I put it on banister and that was where she found it the next day. I don't remember making a mate for it.
A year or two after that I decided I want to learn how to knit, I told this to anyone who would listen. I had a few people tell me that they knew how and that they could show me. I waited for anyone to teach me, for about another year. Then I gave up on waiting and bought a book at the only place that I knew for sure that sold yarn and the other supplies I might need, I went to wal-mart.
I started very slowly, I think I gave up a few times. I had swatches with nothing but twisted stitches. But I managed to figure it out.
Now I have at least three projects on some needles at all times, this means I rarely finish anything, but I always have work to do. I plan to start showing some of the projects that I have made, as well as some of the things that I have designed. I have a hard time writing patterns but I am going to try, I think I can figure it out.
Thanks
July
