I started knitting and crocheting at the age of 8. I was 9 years old when I really fell in love with the craft. I was taught by my Grandmother and my Mother. I was taught how to read Japanese graphs and/or look at a garment and make it. I taught myself how to read grids and patterns, and if I get stuck, I have a close friend to help me.

My first sock I ever made...
Started August 12, 2009
Finished August 24, 2009
I had the opprotunity to be taught how to make a sock about ten years ago. I was to intimidated to make one and just was not ready.
However, timing is everything. One night at the shop I work at had a weaving demo.
I debated many times to learn - not to learn. Finally the best won out. I learned how to cast onto 4 needles and from there I challeneged myself to make a sock. I watched demos, etc. and learned watching a person on you tube, (like 20 times) she knitted way too fast. I just couldn’t wait two weeks to learn the heel and Gosset. I basically with trial and erros to learn how to make a sock on my ownl, with a help of a freind who taught me to cast on.
Of all things, I ever made, I did impress myself on how to make a sock. =-)
