So who taught you to knit?

 


I have been knitting and crocheting since I was about 8 years old. 

I am eternally grateful to my paternal grandmother who taught not only myself but my twin sister to knit and crochet.

She had the patience of a saint as I found out trying to teach my daughters and their daughters. They lost patience and threw in the towel far too early. However, I have since found out that one of my granddaughters now crochets. 

She made a mess of her blanket she was crocheting and she brought it to me to mend. It was a sweet time with lots of laughs.

As you know, I aways have crocheted and knitted projects at home and it makes me joyful. I love being creative.

When I was a younger woman when my children were in school, my neighbour and I would spend many an afternoon knitting. She was very clever with knitting...

Even today you will often find me knitting or crocheting with my twin and we laugh and relax.

We both are grateful to Nana... and I hope I have passed the art on like she did.

So who taught you to knit?

Personalised art


 When my granddaughter was born, I did a personalised picture which was framed. 

I designed it on Microsoft Picture It using a photo of her, printed the finished picture with high gloss photo paper.

At almost 13, she still has it among her other treasures, one being the little cuddle blanket I made her.

Creativity comes in all mediums.
