I knit because its a stress reliver and I always feel great when I finish a sweater or a baby blanket or mittens for gifts and baby cardigans. I was taught to knit by my mother, aunt, grandmother. I started at age 9 and I my first knitting tool was a “knitting knobby” which basically made a long snake, that we turned into a mat by sewing it together in a circle. I have made several afghans too, but my favorite by far is making Aran cardigans. I am from England oringinally so knitting is in my blood. I have crochet a afghan which seem to take forever as I learned to knit first, so using one needle was hard for me. I also crochet doilies,but I still prefer to knit. I have stashes of yarn,but always manage to buy more..
