1) How old were you when you learned how to knit?
I was 5 or 6 years old and my mum and my grandma told me how to knit. But I prefered crochet in this age to make suits for my barbie dolls...

2) Who taught you?
See above, at high school, when I was older I learn how to knit cables and other patterns and my teachers told me I would never learn it.

The teachers told me also with my hand writing I could only become a physician and they are right..:-)
