Now that I am a seasoned knitter, (haha I still make lots of mistakes), I’m attempting new techniques and slightly more difficult patterns.

Little by little my confidence as a knitter improved. I discovered that I preferred top down construction techniques, smaller gauge yarns and needles and the joys of holding more than one strand of yarn at a time.

Knitting has become a bit of an obsession for me and there seems to be a lot of interest in the results of my little hobby. So stay tuned for a round-up of how I got started, and completed projects, both for myself and my family.

I started knitting like everyone else: I made a scarf, using big fat needles, and made a lot of big fat mistakes. But surprisingly, I didn’t give up and I eventually decided that it might be more interesting to make say, a hat or, gulp, a sweater.
