My knitting story.

I have always been interested in arts and crafts, ever since I was little. I enjoyed coloring and creating things with clay and whatever else I could get my hands on. I live have a family of very creative people. My brother likes to draw, my sister is a makeup artist and loves to sing and entertain us with her comedy and acting skills. My mother dabbles in several things from interior decorating to party planning to scrap-booking. And my father is a techie guy. He can fix almost anything it seems. I love drawing. I found that I was very good at it. I would always doodle on my notebook pages in school and loved school projects. When I would visit my great-great aunts house, she would have knitting needles and yarn sitting out in a basket in her living room. I wanted to learn how to do it. In 2004 I picked up a book on Knitting. It caught my eye at the store. I saved some money up and returned to the store and purchased the book. It came with everything needed for a beginner; yarn, a set of knitting needles, a yarn needle, some buttons and 8 projects to do inside of the book. I was hooked! I tried a few of the projects and moved on to my first major project; a scarf and hat for my former manager. She absolutely loved it. I even made a hat and scarf for myself. I was very proud of my good work. Later on I picked up crocheting from purchasing a book as well. If someone were to come to me 6 years ago and tell me that I would have a little business in knitting baby booties, I don't think I would have believed them, lol. I am truly grateful for all the support I have received from family and friends. It is truly my motivation to keep doing what I'm doing. I hope to one day expand my business to start selling more items besides baby booties. Right now, I will stick to baby booties and perfecting my patterns :)
