I'm a self taught knitter. In college (fall 2005) I picked up a kit to make a capelet from Target thinking it would be fun to learn. My college BFF was a knitter (taught by her mother or grandmother, I can't remember) and I spent many evenings running down to her room (Okay, I'll admit it I took the elevator, she was on the 2nd floor I was on the 7th floor) or IMing her on AIM (remember that?!) with an issue or a question. Fast forward 4 years from then to the birth of my niece L and that would probably be when I picked up the knitting needles again post graduation from college. I made her a blanket and baby booties and my in laws a baby blanket for their house when she was born. I again picked up my needles for the birth of S to make him a baby blanket AND because I discovered the world of wool and cloth diapers. This is where my knitting frenzy took off.
