| Knitting Magic |
Two years ago my husband and our two best friends rented a house for two weeks on Cape Cod. During our sightseeing adventures I found a charming and cozy yarn shop. The first time I entered the store it was overwhelming. The yarns were colorful and fun with strings, knots, fringes, and metallic threads swimming through them. How yarn had changed since I had learned to knit several years ago. I didn’t buy anything that day but I couldn’t get the yarns out of my head and I knew I would have to knit something. I made a second visit to the shop and purchased enough yarn to knit an afghan. The afghan didn’t work well but the yarns were spectacular and I started searching for something else to knit.
Another friend of mine had started knitting handbags. Well, I wasn’t going to knit handbags since I remembered them as being floppy and ugly and not at all like my beautiful handbags. Then I saw the cute handbag she had knitted and felted. I decided this was a wonderful way to combine two hobbies I really love, knitting and buying handbags.
How did you start knitting? Share your story with me.
