My mum taught me to knit when I was a kid. I remember my first real project was a wine coloured Aran jersey that was way too big, and I cast off too tightly so it could barely fit over my head. I loved that too big jersey but didn’t know how to fix it so I eventually gave it to charity (idiot!).
Apparently I did my sister’s knitting homework (!) for her when I was 10 cos I didn’t want her to get in trouble for refusing to do what she saw as a sexist piece of homework.
Meh I still knit.
