I started knitting in 2012 when my daughter was born. She was 2.5 months premature, and spent 5 weeks in the NICU before she was able to come home. I’ve written about my knitting origin story on my blog, and encourage you to read it to find out more about how I started knitting. I offer a big thank-you to all of you who knit and crochet for charity. It really does make a difference. In my case, it turned me into a knitter.
