Yarn from Elena Mashinsky

Hello, dear visitors of my store!
I want to get to know you a little, tell you about myself and how I came to knitting.

My name is Elena. I live in the city of Novoaltaysk, Altai Krai.
I started knitting as a child, I don't even remember exactly at what age. Then, in the USSR, there were no special varieties of tools and yarn, we had to be content with what we have. I remember my older sister gave me knitting needles, showed me how to type loops and knit the front rows. Well, I started to "sculpt" all the rows with facial ones (not suspecting that I knit with a handkerchief).
At school, in labor lessons, they taught us to crochet. That's when I got my first product – a fillet top. I was pleased with myself, I can't even express how. Then came napkins, flowers and some other little things.
School ended, I couldn't get in right away, I had to go to work (not to sit idle for a year). Then she got married, gave birth to a child, entered the correspondence department at the institute. Knitting was forgotten-thrown into the far corner. Although no, the pregnant woman was still walking, she knitted two suits, a hat and a jacket for her daughter.
I remembered that I can knit when my daughter was already 6 years old. I began to study the yarn and tools market little by little. What kind of felt boots I felt then, it's funny to remember. But gradually delving into it, I began to feel more confident, going into needlework shops.
My first products were quite simple: tank tops with straight armholes, berets, hats, scarves. Basically everything was connected with knitting needles for my daughter. Knitting for myself was kind of scary, or something. But one day, going into another yarn store, I saw her, beautiful, as it seemed to me then, yarn. And I caught fire to knit myself a cardigan from it. I bought a package and went home happy. And what to knit, how to do it correctly, I couldn't put my mind to it. I didn't want to spoil the threads, so I went online. I found a suitable scheme, made calculations, sat down and tied it up.
And then it started..... Cardigan, cardigan, skirt for daughter, dress for yourself, mother-in-law's vest, cardigan, cardigan..... And this list can be continued for several pages.
Today, without too much modesty, I consider myself a professional knitter. I can create a product of any complexity. Crocheting or knitting does not matter. I love knitting and I do it with great pleasure. I knit adult and children's things, napkins, toys, hats, socks, mittens, gloves, and whatever the soul desires.
Now I can't even imagine that such a thing should happen, because of which I will stop knitting. The day will be wasted if I don't tie at least a few rows. Perhaps the story turned out to be somewhat chaotic, someone will find it uninteresting, but this is part of my life.
Thank you for looking at my page and taking some of your time to read my "confession".
I wish you all a good mood and pleasant shopping!
