My mom and grandma were both avid knitters and crocheters, and they tried to teach me when I was a kid. I caught on to crocheting quickly but I just couldn’t get the hang of knitting. They tried many times! Finally, when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2006, it “clicked” and I’ve been “hooked” (PUN intended!) ever since! I seem to be knitting constantly and I find it very relaxing and very useful at the same time.

I’m a full time mom, I still have my RN license but taking care of my children is my job now! My husband and I have been married since 2002. I am a former Yooper (Michiganders will know what that is!), and very homesick! I like all kinds of things but knitting is fitting in well with caring for small children.
