My knitting journey: from the basics to cables, colourwork, babies and weddings
Knitting has become my go to activity for when I'm feeling restless or to do something productive while I'm watching TV. Over the last few years in particular I've got a lot more adventurous with my project choices and followed my curiosity, which has lead to lots of finished items that I'm so proud of. I strongly beleive knitting is one of the easiest activities to pick up with only two main stitches - knit and purl. I learned new techniques so gradially that I never got intimidated and now I'm obsessed and not stopping anytime soon.
