the history of this craft goes back millenia! on wikipedia, it says that the art of knitting may even predate the oldest sign of it!! theres so many things people have made, and it originated mainly from the middle east. im guessing that people really wanted to stay warm back then, which makes sense because thats one of the most importnant keys for survival :P
i dont know that many skills, since for about a year i didnt really knit at all, but i have 4.5mm needles and a lot of leftover yarn, so if yall find any cool patterns i wouldnt mind trying them! (as long as theyre free, im broke LOL) ive already tried a couple, and theyll be linked in the gallery :)
