"As far back as I can remember, my Mom has always been knitting. One day I asked her to teach me. In the many years since then I have learned lots of other techniques like crochet, sewing and spinning. It was only recently I stumbled into designing.
My Ravelry name is stebo79 and I blog (in German) at hobbyatelier.blogspot.com."
