I still vividly remember being five years old, sitting cross-legged on the on my parents bed, mesmerized as my mother’s knitting needles clicked together with a steady rhythm. She was making me a sweater, the soft yarn flowing effortlessly through her hands like magic. To my young eyes, it was a kind of alchemy - turning simple strands of yarn into something warm, beautiful, and uniquely mine. That memory became the seed of my lifelong love for knitting.
As knitters, we find joy in the process: selecting the perfect pattern, choosing yarn that feels just right, and watching our projects take shape stitch by stitch. There’s a special pride in following a pattern and making it our own, whether by adding a touch of creativity or simply infusing it with the care and patience that only handmade items carry.
