Episode 16 of Left Field Knitter Podcast


Crazy Talk-

I would like to welcome everyone to episode 16. I would also like to send a special hello to those that have joined the Ravelry group Left Field Knitter Podcast. I hope that you will come and join.

Random Questions:
From ChristianCrafter (Tiffany)

Have you always been a crafter? When did you learn? Who taught you? Are you teaching your daughter?

I feel like I have always been crafty. When I was little, I used to take things apart just to see if I could put them back together. I learned to knit when I was in 10th grade from my Math teacher, But I only ever learned the Knit stitch. I learned to crochet from a long ago friend and it stuck for a while. I picked back up the knitting needles again a few years ago and because of YouTube and Ravelry, I have learned a great deal about knitting. I am trying to teach my daughter to knit, but she gets bored and distracted, but when she concentrates, she does pretty good.
