I discovered knitting in 2016, when I had a 3 year old at home and was struggling with a period of intense anxiety. Teaching myself to crochet and then knit was a lifesaver for me. I started easy and soon I was making complicated sweaters like the one pictured here. If you're interested in learning, for mental health or as a way to get off your feeds, I hope you message me. I have so many resources and bits of advice to share. If we had a group, perhaps we could do a zoom knit night.
First Steps
-Join Ravelry and browse the patterns for inspiration
-Watch a knitting podcast like Fruity Knitting
-Buy a book that really breaks it down
-Chat with me! I love to meet new people!
Did you make this sweater Jessemy? It's beautiful! I have never learned to knit or crochet. I sew. I have made a couple quilts and home dec stuff but my main love is garment sewing.

My craftiness manifests in other mediums, but if you start a stitch-and-bitch, I want an invite!
