It's all Grandma's fault. [Thanks GG!] When I was growing up we lived next door to GG. She was always creating something. She sewed, she crocheted, she knit [and when she got older she did plastic canvas things.] I don't know exactly when I was converted to knitting and crocheting, or even which came first. But, it was long, long ago.
GG started me off with scarves and knit caps. I quickly progressed to sweaters, doll clothes, and eventually baby clothes for my niece & nephew. [But never socks.] Here is a photo of one of my "masterpieces" - an Aran sweater/jacket that I did when I was a teenager. Of course, I didn't know that Aran sweaters aren't usually in gold. But, it was knit in THAT decade [the gold/olive one.]
