Like so many, I learned to knit as a young girl but never on a regular basis. Then in 2007, a devastating illness left me unable to speak or walk more than a few steps due to lost muscle control.

This led to new interests, and for a time I enjoyed drawing in pencil. In 2010 I returned to knitting which now consumes most of my time.
