1st Year Knitaversary

Today I have been knitting for one year!!!

I can't believe it has been a year since I ventured into an LYS, bought some old needles for 10p, some random tiny balls of yarn and a "How to Knit" book for £1.00 (was from the 70's). My husband taught me how to do a slipknot and I cast on so tight that I couldn't get my needles in the stitches and after hours of sore fingers I threw the knitting across the room in frustration.

Things have come a bit of a way now, I never imagined I would have knit socks using 5 needles (well 8 pairs now) and had a go at felting, cables and lace :D

I think I would have a bit more in the bank (Serious yarn addiction) but I am so much richer in the skills I now have and the lovely friends I have made online and just wanted to thank everyone for all your support in my 1st year, heres to many more!

Happy Knitaversary!
The time flys by so fast doesn't it?
Well done, you've accomplished more in one year than a lot of knitters do in their lifetime.
