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!
