Knitting Introductions

Believe it or not, I have actually dipped my paralyzed toes into the knitting waters as well. I have made a couple stockinette stitch scarves so far. I'd truthfully be content if I plateau there as long as I can keep doing it, but I have purchased books for sock and traditional folk Swedish knit projects as well.

I am currently knitting Harry the Pup by Sardines for tea, i got the kit from blackpool yarn festival back in February. He looks so like my stepson & his fiance's dog so I am making it for them for a little wedding present

I started knitting at Easter and I've made a pair of dk socks and some fingerless gloves. I'm not one fora simple scarf to learn as I'd get too easily bored and give up. I'm now doing a test knit of a tank top which is going really well so far (just need to finish it on time). 

I learnt to knit in the late 1960s when I was five or six, and I've been knitting ever since. At first I made things for my dolls, but now I knit most days and make a variety of items.

I have been an avid knitter for a few years now, having learnt as a child and then came back to it many decades later. i normally have several projects on the go, always a pair of socks. However now i am cranking up the sewing, it leaves less time for knitting (oh, and spinning, and the weaving i want to have a go at!)

I'm not a knitter by any stretch of the imagination except for socks. I almost always have a pair on the go. Not interesting fancy socks just vanilla socks that I can knit without thinking whilst watching You tube sewing vlogs. I use dpns as I just couldn't get on with circular needles, I couldn't get my hands to feel comfortable with the needles - perhaps because I learnt to knit at primary school in the early 1960s - yes, I am that old!! The pattern I follow is the Winwick Mum basic sock pattern although my first sock was by following Lucy Neatby on Craftsy.
