Today, I want us to think about the people who first introduced us to the wonderful world of creating. For some of us, it was a grandmother, mother, aunt, or friend who patiently taught us our first stitches. For others, it was watching a video, discovering a knitting machine online, or deciding to teach ourselves something new. Sometimes we don't realize until years later just how much those early experiences shaped our lives. I learned to knit at my Grandma's knee when I was five, and that love of creating has stayed with me ever since. ❤️ TODAY'S QUESTION: Who first introduced you to knitting or crafting? What do you remember most about those early days? And if you're self-taught, what inspired you to give it a try? I'd love to hear your stories! Let's celebrate the people and experiences that helped make us the makers we are today. 🧶❤️
