Just Wanna Say "Thanks!"

I started knitting a little over a year ago in order to teach my Asperger’s Syndrome (mild form of autism) DS (12 y.o.) how to knit. I am in my very early 30’s and my family and my friends think I am absolutely addicted as well as nuts! (They all make fun of me for doing something they consider only grandmas to do.) As I’ve posted before, I haven’t ventured outside the rectangle… YET - but knitting has become a passion, an addiction, and as another member said, a therapy session.

My son LOVES to knit and it calms him down when he’s feeling particularly anxious. I’m so happy I learned to knit with him.

I have to say thanks because this website is the best website I’ve ever come across. This is such a wonderful community of really helpful, talented, and terrific people! The videos have given me the confidence to keep on trying since I only get together with other knitters once a month due to my grueling schedule. And if my son is having a bad day, knitting group gets skipped. (This happens alot!)

Anyway… thanks for the great website! And thanks to everyone who finds time to contribute and answer everyone’s questions. :notworthy:

I think it is just wonderful that you can knit with your son cloud9 I bet knitting make you guys closer, sharing something you both love :heart:
