Ask the Geeks -
Originally asked/answered in 2017:
Ruthie asks:
C.C., who first taught you to knit, and what was your first project? I notice that you knit your socks using magic loop. I want to try sock knitting--is that the best way? Dami, I am guessing your mom taught you to knit, but what was your first project? Magic loop for you too?
