As a child I can recall creating very long chains from yarn with a crochet hook, learning from my paternal grandmother.  The chain stitch was put aside for Barbie Dolls school, boys…you know what I’m talking about.  Then when I was a senior in High School 1975, I was off school for nearly a month with an illness. I spent a great deal of time on the couch admiring the beautiful granny square afghan that my grandmother had made.  My mother bought a book and helped me learn the various stitches and I was “hooked”.  I started creating gifts for family and friends, but eventually couldn’t find a pattern that I liked, so I tried my hand at creating my own-which was published in “Crochet World Magazine”. 
Later, my interest turned to knitting as I noticed how much softer knitted items appeared.  So, once again, I bought needles and a book and taught myself to knit.  After practicing all the stitches, I made my first project-a vest and entered it in the Spartanburg fair.  Winning a blue ribbon has encouraged me to continue to learn about knitting.  I am still learning new techniques in knitting and crochet and am anxious to share them with you at Super Stitch.  I invite you to come join the fun.Â
