I have been knitting as long as I can remember. When asked I usually reply that I learned to knit before I learned to read. I was 4 years old and my first "finished" project was 5 x 5 cm blanket for my doll.

I don`t particularily like to follow patters - most of my sweaters are made up as I knit them. Even if I wanted to do so it would be really difficult to write down the pattern later.
