Started knitting as child but didn't progress til college in New York. Mom, grandmothers and aunts are/ were skilled knitters. I got a slow start because we moved to Hawaii when I was very young and it was hard to find a reason to knit (and good yarn was even harder to come by). When I really started traveling, I needed knit garments and was able to find yarn. I've only knitted simple garments and lots of charity hats. My passions are fairisle knitting, cables, and lace, but I'm just learning these techniques.
(BTW- When I was young, we used to capture cane spiders and "wear" them on our shoulders. Some were 3-4" across, and mom would freak when she saw them. I've always been fascinated by spiders and their webs.)
