Your Knitting Room:
A Guide for Beginners

Guest contribution from Ale Aguilera, describing herself as follows. When I was a child, I watched my mom knit beautiful scarves for my family and how she enjoyed choosing the right yarn for her designs. She wanted to teach me, but honestly, I wasn't sure I was "crafty" enough. I finally decided to give it a try during the lockdown, this time for real. Then I realized I needed the right knitting space to take my new hobby to the next level.

This is what inspired me to write
"Your Knitting Room: A Guide for Beginners".
