In the Beginning

Introduction

This is my first voyage into the well-traveled waters of knitting blogs.  While I am a new blogger, I'm an experienced knitter.  I've been knitting steadily for 6 years now, with several surges of stop-and-start enthusiasm in the years preceding.  My paternal grandmother taught me when I was about ten, I think.  I know for certain she taught me, but I don't remember exactly how old I was.

Beginning

It begins with two hands (or four or more, if you're learning the basics), two pointy sticks (or more, depending on what you're making), and string of various materials and colors.  Hold firm to that string, for it will lead you places you never thought you could go.

Every stitch you form has a story all its own.  Every thing you make has a story all its own.  Your knitting life is a fascinating tale.  In these posts, I hope to share my own knitting life, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy telling it.  Peace and good knitting to all!
