I picked up my first knitting needles when my Mom handed me a pair of wood needles that were hand carved by one of my ancestors. I wish I knew who but they were the start of my knitting career.
I started knitting with simple scarves and worked my way through raglan sleeved cardigans, Swedish two color sweaters, then outfits for my daughter then socks.
Crochet started with fastening seams in knitted garments. Then afghans, hats to donate to Lighthouse Youth Services, and other crocheted garments.
There have been some knitting and crochet patterns that I could not follow. I am still learning.
I will post as I finish a knit or crochet project with pictures if I can figure out how.
Have a blessed day.
