I have been knitting for about 5 or so years now. I come from a long line of fabric and yarn artists. My grandmother was a seamstress, knitter, weaver, and crocheter, my mom followed suit and now all I have left to learn is weaving. Recently a friend gave me Barbara Walker’s 1st and 2nd Treasury of Knitting Patterns and I am inspired to create some of my own patterns. I have knitted just about every type of garment there is but my first love is knitting socks. They are intricate, quick and elegant to wear. I recently finished my first design, Cable and Seed Sock, I am sure it will have its share of errata…so please tell me how I can improve my directions! I am an intuitive knitter, meaning I rarely follow directions, so writing directions is kind of paradoxical :)
