My grandmother taught me the basics of knitting when I was 6. Since she knit all sorts of things without patterns, I absorbed the invaluable fact that you can make your own. I knitted intermittently up until college, at which point I dove in seriously and knitted through more than a few classes. A few years later, a co-worker taught me how to spin, and in 1987, I bought a table loom and taught myself to weave. Currently, I live with two floor looms and lust after a house big enough for five of them.
