my new passion is knitting

I have always knitted - mum taught me to knit clothes for my dolls when I was very young and my gran used to let me practice on granddad's socks - he never wore a pair of bought socks in his entire life!

Since those early days, I have knitted all sorts of things - but never socks - until recently when I discovered the incredible world of knitting blogs and the wonderful knitters who share their lives and knitting know-how.

So, the quilting has taken a bit of a back seat for the time being as I am just completely enthralled with knitting socks....!!!
