I have always been fascinated by yarn ever since I was little. Even today I love to browse the yarn aisles in local stores in awe of all the colors, textures, and variegated patterns. My mother used to knit and crochet proficiently. I used to love to watch her work the needles and create afghans and clothes from a simple ball of yarn.
When I was around 10 I made up my mind I wanted to learn to crochet. I wanted more than anything to be like her. It seemed she could do anything! My mother bought me a book that I studied diligently entitled "How to Crochet", a crochet hook, and yarn and with practice I learned and became proficient. Over the years I have made countless afghans, baby blankets, clothes, dish cloths, and pot holders.
looms and made up my mind to learn to knit with a loom. So far I love my looms and have renewed my passion for yarn in a whole new way. I am determined to learn how to knit socks with a sock loom. Until then I will practice and transform balls of yarn into colorful panels of fabric which I will sew together to create warm, cozy blankets.
