I taught myself how to knit about five years ago from a variety of YouTube channels and online resources. I had never really considered knitting as a potential hobby before. It was a spur of the moment decision. No one in my family knits and the only knitter I knew at the time lived in another country. I was inspired by the (to me) new knowledge that the dishcloths I used in my kitchen contained microplastic that inevitably will end up in the Oceans. Use after use. And so, I googled how to knit cotton dishcloths. A half-hour later, I found myself in my local yarn shop, asking what needles and yarn they would recommend for an absolute beginner, intend on knitting dishcloths. I’ve been knitting ever since, and it is steadily becoming a more significant part of my life. Knitting is incredibly relaxing, and it’s the perfect antidote to my sometimes stressful everyday life. The best thing is that there are always new techniques to learn, new patterns to try out. Although I still have much to learn myself (don't we all) I want to help new knitters experience the joy of knitting and make their learning journey a smooth ride.
