When I was little (in primary school kind of little), my parents and my aunts taught me how to knit. I don't remember what I managed to make, I just remember that someone always had to start me off and that I quite enjoyed it. I don't really know why I stopped. I've been sewing again for months, but not knitting. It was a big part of my childhood as my Mum used to knit professionally and always seemed to have a project on the go when I was young.
This year, when making my 28 things list, I decided it was something that I wanted to learn again, and not just knitting but also how to start myself off with a project and see it through to completion without help.
When he came to visit over Easter, my Dad bought me this brilliant little starter kit.
He was a little put off by the idea of buying me a children's kit and in German but I insisted I wanted to start small to make sure that I got the hang of it and learnt properly again. With the kit and a little help from youtube, I started the first of the mini projects in the kit, a bookmark and even managed to finish it in the same evening.
Once I got going, I remembered easily, the hardest part was getting started but I figured it out. I was so pleased with how quickly I picked it up again. I can't wait to start the next project in the kit!
