HI! *waves* I'm Robyn, I'm 22 years old. I'm an avid knitter, crocheter, sewer, quilter, cross stitcher, beginner spinner. Basically if I find a new craft, I want to do it.
Knitting was my gateway craft, I started when I was twelve.I had found a bunch of my grandma's old knitting needles and crochet hooks, this was after she had passed away so I wanted to learn to be closer to her. I wracked my brain for months trying to figure out who could teach me to knit, my mom barely knew any so she couldn't help me. Now remember even though I'm 22 this was ten years ago, before YouTube became big, so unlike today I couldn't just hop onto the computer and teach myself. Finally I went to a local historical village, where my family has volunteered for YEARS, and there was a rather large booth filled with colourful fibre, yarn, and of course knitted items! After a while I had built up enough courage to go over and ask if one of the ladies could teach me to knit, which they did.
Though for the next five years I rarely knit, when I was seventeen I got the bug to knit again, but in a much hardcore way. Now, after another five years I'm going great guns and my bedroom is more of craft room than a bedroom.
I will delve more into my craftiness as time goes on but for now I think I'll think I'll just add that I'm also a MASSIVE nerd, which you all will see in time ;)
Bye for now!
Have a wonderful day full of craftiness!!
