Introduction
I'm fairly new to knitting, with just a few projects under my belt. I never realized just how addictive it would become and am eager to gain the skills to complete more complicated projects.
Who taught you how to knit/crochet and how long have you been doing it?
In January of 2007, an experienced friend taught me the basics and I caught a hold of it with some repeated viewing of the videos on knittinghelp.com.
What's your favorite fiber?
I really like knitting with wool. Love alpacea.
If you were stranded on a deserted island with loads of cashmere and rosewood needles, what would you make?
Something for myself, anything really. I seem to make stuff for others, but never get to the pile of procects I want for me.
For you, does knitting/crocheting seem like it's going to be a passing fancy or a lifelong passion? (Hint: If you've been doing it for more than 3 years, I think we already have your answer.) :)
I've now been knitting for about 3 years and I really enjoy it. I know it's not a passing fancy, although I go back and forth on the time and energy I put into it. I picked crocheting back up after learning how to knit, but don't do it very often.
