Welcome to my knitting blog. In this blog I’d like to document my knitting adventures — the good, the bad, and the … err, interesting.
I learnt to knit about two years ago, when some friends at church got into knitting scarfs, and then taught me to knit. I didn’t like it at first, it felt like I was juggling two giant logs that they call “needles” to make loops out of a thread. It was such an effort just to knit a row. So I put it down and decided I didn’t like knitting.
But that’s before I discovered knitting blogs. Oh the beautiful knitted creations! The wonder of seeing a project develop! The awe inspiring skills and tricks and tips! The comraderie!
Through a knit blog I discovered Debbie Stoller’s Stitch ‘n Bitch book, and it was just what I needed to start me off in knitting. I love reading about the techniques, the great patterns, the history of knitting, and my favourite, tips on how to fix mistakes. The book also contains web addresses of various knitters’ blogs! Inspiration: check.
Then I had baby Annette. One thing that I loved about getting a girl was that I could have fun dressing her up. Motivation: check.
I’m good to go! 🙂
