knitting scarf, partial view

Crafts have been one of my biggest abilities since childhood. I remember watching my mom sewing and I wanted to copy what she was doing, but they wouldn't allow me to touch the needles because it was dangerous for the kids to be around needles. However, I was making dresses for my dolls, secretly. Gradually I improved my abilities and learned to knit. This was one of my biggest achievements in life. With knitting, I can make clothing and same time earn some money, it also helps me to relax and gain my self-esteem. Currently, I share my knowledge in a foundation as a volunteer. This gives me a lot of satisfaction to see other women happy like me, learning how to knit.
