My name is Karen and I'm addicted to knitting but it's OK. I love collecting knitting tips and will post what I have found helpful to me so you can more fully enjoy your knitting time. This isn't meant to be a "how to knit" tutorial - it's just tips I've learned by knitting for a long time. Your first tip: The easiest way to search for a knitting answer is to use the Search Box under the "About Me" on the left side of this screen.
About Me
- Karen Zander
- Minnesota, United States
- I learned to knit when I was 12 years old after watching a high school girl on my school bus make all these wonderful things out of 2 sticks and yarn. I was so impressed with her that I had my younger cousin show me how it was done. In those days you would never actually talk to an upper classman no matter what. I made a pair of slippers and then decided I wanted a pair of mittens that had my school name knitted into them. Got out the graph paper and charted it, bought the yarn with my meager babysitting $$ and knitted away. Nobody told me this might be difficult so I had what I thought were the coolest mittens in my school. I wore them for years!
