In hard time people specially the wives in each family must do sewing , knitting to keep warm. But today people do knitting is just a hobby, to fulfill their creativity or design idea.

When I was six years old, I could knit yarns. I sat before the door knitting yarns. Our neighbors were so surprised when they saw I was knitting, they cried to my mother, ‘hi, your daughter is knitting, how can she do that?’ My mother replied calmly, ‘ yes, she can do that when she was born.’

When I was seven years old, I dreamed of that I could knit a sweater totally by my own design. But my mom , she didn’t agree. She thought I would waste yarns. So I was so eager to have some yarns belonging to myself. I dreamed of that I could have my own yarns.

I remember that my mom had a big box in which she put many yarns, new yarns or any leftover yarns. So I wanted to have my own box because I was not allowed to get any yarns from mom.

One day my aunt told that she had an old sweater she did not want to keep. So I could own and wash it then I could get the yarns for myself. I was very happy to get it. That means I could knit any product any pattern by myself!

My first product was a pair of gloves for myself. It was too complicated to finish it. I almost wanted to give it up. My mom taught me and encouraged me to finish it. I was so happy to see my first product. What a pity I had no camera to take a photo of it or I did not keep it till now.

After that I accomplished some more products, such as socks, vests, caps, scarves, some for myself, some for my family members, some for uncle’s sister’s doll.
Knitting , this hobby really gave me much happiness at that time. When I was a university student, I wanted to knit a vest for my first boyfriend, the first love. What a pity again, I never knitted it.
