I started my mini-business a little over a month ago. I was watching an episode of 19 and Counting, and someone wanted to learn how to crochet baby booties for the new baby arriving. They had no experience in crocheting and had some trouble getting started. As I was looking at the show, I wondered how hard it would be to knit a pair of baby booties instead of crocheting them (I misplaced my crochet hooks). I searched and searched for a knitting pattern and found one that I thought would work out. I ended up having to recalculate measurements to fit the size needles I owned, as well as the kind of yarn I had. After a couple practices, I successfully knitted a pair of yellow baby booties. I was on a roll after that. I learned how to make pom poms and crocheted (with my hands) to make ties for the baby booties. Over night my mini business was created. I was so excited! My family and friends have been really supportive throughout the process. I pray that my sales will increase and one day I hope to knit and sell bigger items.
Knit(v)-to make (a garment, fabric, etc. by interlocking loops of one or more yarns either by hand with knitting needles or by machine. Wit(n)-the keen perception and cleverly apt expression of those connections between ideas that awaken amusement and pleasure.
