As I suspect is the way with many young girls in Scotland, I was originally taught to knit by my Granny around the age of five. We sat side by side on the couch in her small, cosy living room whilst she patiently took me through the motions of the knit stitch. It was just one activity of many offered in attempt to entertain an only child as the painstakingly long days of the summer holidays stretched out ahead of us both.
