Hi !
Why do you knit?
Sometimes look around and realize that I'm the only knitter in the room. None of my nearby friends knit and I get funny looks when I tell people that I teach knitters how to use their knitting machines.
As a young girl, my first sweater was knit with RUG Yarn (because it was cheap) purchased at Woolworths, a five and dime (remember them?)
Even though I finished the sweater, as you can imagine it was a total disaster. What was I thinking? A yarn made to be walked on for a sweater??? Even then I was a "lone soldier" when it came to knitting.
It's a wonder I'm still knitting after all these years. Thankfully, I've made lots of on-line knitter friends and I've had lots of successes since then.
