I picked up my needles again in October 2015 having previously only ever knitted very basic (stocking(ette) & garter stitch) scarves (very badly) for myself as a young teen. I've very quickly become addicted to knitting. Started off slow with a moss stitch scarf then a college stripe knitted on a circular needle. Then my father in law challenged me to socks... I was terrified of this one! How on earth was I supposed to be able to use dpn's or the magic loop, turn a heel or close a toe?! Well 1 trial sock, many you tube and other tutorials and 3 months later, I proudly handed over his brand new pair of socks! Now I'm expanding my skills and trying to use patterns with new techniques each time I pick up a project, so far so good. Still addicted and the yarns stash is ever increasing!
