Trish - Nanny to lots

map-pin Halifax

Started knitting at 6 - the usual scarf and dollies clothes but never got hooked until i was 17. Recently posted to London in the WRAF I bought my first knitting pattern and wool at a posh store on The Strand. I remember sitting on my bed in the WRAF block wondering how to cast on ( my mum had always done it for me) but I managed and knot the sweater. Never stopped since. I knitted for my three kids and still do, I make them socks. I knit for my three youngest grandchildren and do loads of charity knitting.
