I learned how to knit when I was about 10 yrs old or so but once high school rolled around, I had become too "cool" for knitting. Then during a particularly difficult time when I dropped out of college (temporarily)I was re-introduced to knitting in all its glory by a good friend. When not knitting I am working in an office and taking classes on the side to finish my BA, eating (yes ma'am I like me some food), or sleeping. I do get some homework done in there somewhere... well I pretend I do anyways.
