Knitted by hand

I wasn’t indifferent to female conversations and affairs, although at the time I detested everything that was in any way connected with any of the domestic and female activities, I had to have a sweater knitted by hand, but not by my mother’s hands, made by me.

Made by me at the time it was as important as being in fashion, because it was also fashionable to knit and to know to knit by hand

I confess at all it was not easy, there were several obstacles, first the need to learn and refuse to make pieces of wool not be a sweater, then the maternal refusal to buy wool because ideas of this kind were little forgotten projects and put aside and then find a way to overcome all obstacles

But with stubbornness and determination that has always been strong in my personality, I took advantage of remnants of existing skeins at homme and started to learn.

Between loops, lost, knits, fallen, woven, mattes and finishing touches, after two weeks I had my first wool sweater that I wore for a while with pride printed on my face that said with all the letters My First Knitted Sweater Be Me

Some more came, but never again had the taste of the first that I keep hanging in the wardrobe today.
