I began knitting in the Fall of 2011. I just joined an awesome Coop for my two kids that I Homeschool full-time. I was the only Dad, surrounded by very accepting and friendly Mom's that brought me into the group. A lot of Mom's were avid knitters, so right then and there, I decided to learn to knit so I could have a connection and have something to do while being social at the same time.
I watched a lot of YouTube videos on how to cast on, knit, purl, and collected some pointers from experienced knitters a long the way. My first knitting project was a hat. I unraveled and did this hat over and over again because I kept making a lot of mistakes, holes in a lot of places, just had a hard time with it. My fingers ached too, I was such a tight knitter when I first started.
In the first year I started knitting, I made hats for my family (8 hats in all), mittens for Shannon, and a big cowl. Out of all the pieces I made, I really enjoyed the hats the best. So, here we are 2013, with new goals, new ambitions, and new hats! I am excited to do this project and I hope to inspire some new knitters or people who are interested in seeing my work.
All the best in 2013! Happy Knitting!!
