Oh my goodness.

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.

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.
