Home Sweet Home: The Tank Version
Introduction
I started this project without any expectation of it becoming something let alone writing a pattern for it. At the time, I had moved to a new state and I didn’t have anyone to meet up with or talk to in the area yet and knitting helped with the anxiety of starting over in a new place. Instagram connected me to so many knitters, some of whom were in my area that I would meet up with. It opened me to connecting with more people beyond knitting. It finally made me feel like I was home. So, I dedicate this to all my knitting friends, on and off line, who have helped me come out of my shell and inspire me to keep creating. Hashtag on Instagram with #homesweethomeknitformula and #tinatseknits so I can see your progress and FOs! And tag me @tina.tse.knits.
