I’m in Knitty!

I want to thank my beautiful mother and sister for being my models.

You guys are wonderful and I love you.  And now you’re famous fashion models too! ;)

I can’t tell you how honored and delighted I am that one of my patterns made it into Knitty. In the five years that I’ve been seriously knitting I have used at least a dozen Knitty patters, all obviously free of charge.  I am so happy to finally give back!  Thank you Amy, tech team, and other designers for another fabulous issue.

Blast from the Past

This is the earliest known example of my knitting.

It’s a garter-stitch headband/earwarmer.

The plan would have been to sew together the short ends using those tails. I made others that I did sew up and use and I’m not sure why I never sewed this one. Maybe I thought it looked uneven, and decided to use one that was better. It is uneven, but I think it’s sort of cute. I was like 9 at the time, what do you expect?

What is YOUR first knitted thing?

PS:  Shout out to my mom, who taught me how to knit and suggested I do this post.
