‘Our’ SP10 hostess is Bobbi and she is a ‘nosey Nelly’… She asks us to answer all kind of questions. But, fair enough, she offers something in return that’s definitely worthwhile: who doesn’t want to win Socks that Rock yarn? So here we go.
1) How old were you when you learned how to knit?
Very young. I must have been 7 or 8 and I remember exactly what is was that we had to knit: an oven cloth. With extreme fine needles for a child, US 0 or 2 mm and light blue cotton we had to do 4 rows 4 k and 4 p, 4 rows 4 p and 4 k etc. The finished cloth got a crocheted picot in pink. Yek! It was far too complicated for me and till now I can see (in my memory) the mistakes I made, the tight grubby yarn and the dropped stitches. I think my mother finished it, ‘cause for years I remember seeing the things (yes, there were 2!) hanging in the kitchen.
2) Who taught you?
I was in a girls’ school that was part of a convent, so I guess I learned to knit from the nun who taught fancywork. I don’t remember her name. That sure is a sign, because I do remember the name of some other nuns.
Och arme :-))). Zulke mooie pannenlappen en zulke ‘bad’ memories !!!!
Gelukkig heb je ondertussen meer schik in breien gekregen.
Ga je nog een keer pannenlappen breien, zoveel mooie patroontjes tegenwoordig.
Je hebt een goede basis meegekregen!! (^_^)
Je breit als de beste!
hm, de non had wel smaak 😉
en je mams was vast er zuinig op haar pannelapjes; wat heerlijk dat je toch zo’n plezier hebt gekregen in breien.
Hey Yvonne –
I can always send you some STR!! Let me know what colorway you want!!
It seems that 7 was a popular age for learning in our group. Thanks for playing!
Hallo
Ik werk met Asielzoekers en ben dringend opzoek naar een breipatroon voor pannenlappen.
Alvast bedankt
