New member and new knitter from SW VA. Started knitting about 3 years ago, trying to learn from local yarn shop and you tube. It was a struggle, never knew anyone who knitted or was willing to help. Then found local yarn shop! Recently retired and new found activity was traveling to new cities and looking for more local yarn shops. Then 2020 disaster. So, more online activities. No where near as fun a traveling to new LYS. Like socks, hats, shawls, looking forward to first sweater / pull over/ cardigan.
