I've been trying for months now to figure out away to describe myself to all of you. Many attempts at writing something up have failed and ended with me deleting everything I was going to say to sit and stare at a blank page. So now I'm going to try again and hope this time it makes it to publishing.
I'm a 20 something woman living in the finger lakes region of Central New York State. For those of you that are unfamiliar with New York, that's the part of the state that has woods, farms and vast stretches of nothing but country side, about 4 hours west northwest of New York City. I'm a mother of two beautiful, intelligent children that show me the meaning of true love every day. I have an amaizing boyfriend that gives me the world and believes whole heartedly in all my crazy ass whims, even I don't always believe in them.
I first started knitting when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I had watched my grandmother knit for years and was fascinated on how she could turn a ball of yarn into something beautiful and useful. So one day she sat me down with a scrap ball of yarn and a pair of old knitting needles and started to show me how it was done. From then out I was hooked... No pun intended.
As a preteen my love for knitting was put on hold for more girl of my age deeds. Such as boys, swimming, and crafts that would make 'cooler' things that my friends and I could wear all year round. To say the least crafting of all sorts has been a part of my life the whole way through.
I don't think my grandmother ever intended for me to take my knitting/crafting to some of the extremes that I have. I don't think she thought that day she sat me in her chair beside her and showed me how to hold the needles and make a simple knit stitch that a few years later I would be turning that into a business and a passion unlike any I've ever known. To be honest I think she just wanted away to get my hyper little ass to sit still for ten minutes. What ever her reasons may have been I know that I am forever grateful to her for showing me the ropes.
I think that's enough for now. Maybe I'll spill some more about me later.
Love always
Tia Knitz
