Amy's mother taught her to knit when she was 5 years old, and she has no memories of a life that did not include knitting. Barbara Walker's book was one of the first of many knitting books her mother gave her. Knitting is one of the things that makes her feel connected to her late mother. She leads a fiber arts club for kids and has taught over 100 kids how to knit -- while they knit they talk about friends and family members who knit!Lexicon
