SBQ! Oh my!

It has been ages since I answered one of the SBQs. But, I think you all understand. Right?
From mid August:

SBQ suggested by Jennifer and was:

"How did you get started stitching?
Was there a person that inspired you?"
I was taught shortly after I was married by my stepmother. Must have been 1996 or 1997. It was a small kit that I started off with. Too bad I can't recall what it was exactly.
Inspired? Um, not really. I saw what she had done and thought how I'd like to do that.
Sort of like how I got interested in starting to knit. I say "starting to knit" because I was always interested in watching people knit and crochet, I just hadn't been hit with the urge to give it a shot myself. I was at an appointment waiting for what seemed like ages. There was a woman across from me, her fingers flying with knitting needles making a scarf. It was beautiful. I asked her a few things about it. Then maybe 6+ months later I think it was I dove into the knittyland. *smiling
