My father was a tailor, my mum a dressmaker/designer. You could say I have an inherent ability that was passed on. I learned to knit very young in elementary. I remember doing socks on 4 needles when I was about 8. I did not mind the knitting but I minded the fact it was just us girls and the boys could play! Of course, we wore handknitted and hand sewn garments which were not always appreciated. Low and behold, I walked into a yarn store and fell in love with the colours and different fibers. I am very visual. You can say I am a tad obsessed!
I live with my partner of 35 years. We have 2 children whom I just adore. Now that I have more time to do things I love, I have become oa knit and yarn freak and want to learn everything I can. The only thing holding me back is the cost of materials.
I have taken 2 workshops so far and always look for ways to get more intricate in my designs.
