I have been knitting since I was in 3rd Grade. I grew up in a Catholic School where it was mandatory to have at least 3 projects on an annual basis. I was 7-8 years old when I had to knit a baby-set as my first project and my mom helped me complete it. Cross Stitching and embroidery never attracted me that much, but knitting did. Thanks to mom, an exceptional knitting patterns' inventor. Over the years, I have knitted several projects, sometimes after long gaps. Being an engineer by education, I have the tendency to be very particular about my knitting outcome - precision and alignment of cables. I am inclined to knit more hats and scarves - short projects. I am a huge fan of cables and have knitted quite a few complex ones in my teen years. Would love to try the Aran Cable Cardigan with the right twead yarn. During my travels, I have come across lots of lovely yarn and have been going back to knitting as my passion - a meditation in itself. I am glad to find Crafsy. My main challenge is closing a project or I should say stitching a hat and tying the ends neatly. I look forward to enjoying the classes and discover new patterns. Above all, be able to interact and discuss the projects and leverage the experts' advice.
