My Knitting History With Mommy
“As I get older, I just prefer to knit. ” ― Tracey Ullman
I used to grab my mommy’s knitting needles and unsuccessfully
tried to knit.
One day my friend’s elder sis came to me and caught me doing
play with mommy’s needles and she asked me to bring new ball of thread which
was there for future use in almirah,and two sticks of our broom, she cut short
the broom sticks peel off them to make fine for needles, cast on a bunch of
stitches and showed me how to create stitch, teaching me how to knit via the
method she acquainted with. I loved making the stitches, excited when I saw my
favorite color, blue. I used to take those knitting needles in my bag while
going to school and knit during my journey to school in air force coach. The
conductor in the coach named Kalish stunned watching me knitting, and told to
the coach driver, “see this little is knitting like a lady, how strange!!!”
Later on mommy taught me how to knit when I was 7 years old, due
to my grabbing her knitting needles from her knitting bag. we were living at
Jamnagar, Gujarat and I was in 3rd standard at Hindi High School there. One
day she took me to the Baniya shop at
Air force station campus, bought me a ball of cotton thread that was
variegated, three colours, and a set of steel needles pointed at both sides.
Mommy cast on a bunch
of stitches for me and showed me how to create a knit stitch,

teaching me how to knit via the English method. "I'll show you how to purl,
sweetheart, when you make a knitted scarf," she informed me. I loved making the
stitches, excited when I saw my favorite color, purple. Once my beginner scarf was
completed, Mommy showed me how to make stockinette stitch by doing a knit row
and then a purl row.later in life till now knitting and crocheting are my leisure
activities.
