October 4, 2012 by Christine

When I was about 12 years old my mum taught me how to knit. Just the basics. Casting on, casting off, knit, purl - the basics. I was able to make little scarves and hats and blankets for my barbies and cabbage patch kids. As I got older I'd get some nicer yarn, better needles and would make … [Read more...]
