Hey all! I’ve been a lurker on a ton of blogs for the past several years, and i’ve finally decided to come out of the shadows. Just a little bit about me first.
I’m 20 years old and i’m a junior in college. i’m majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. I tend to bring my knitting a lot with me to classes and knit during then. I figure i can study that as well, and multitask. I’ve been knitting since I was 15, so in two months it’ll be 6 years since i learned to knit. No one in my family knits, or even crochets, that i know. I was entirely self taught from the internet. it was just one of those things that jumped out at me one day and said “You should learn to knit”. It was before the eyelash scarf fad even got started. I don’t even remember what sparked the idea, but since then fiber has become a major part of my life.
Sometimes i go through periods where i don’t knit at all, but they rarely last more than a couple months. I started spinning on a drop spindle last spring, and finally caved in this past sunday and bought my very first wheel! It’s a walnut kromski sonata and it should be here sometime next week.
Figure i’ll leave you with some pictures of current knitting…
It’s a Baudelaire sock from Knitty! done in Socks that Rock Lightweight, colorway Haida. It’s the second sock and i’ll show you both together when they’re finished
