Hi I’m Mina … also known as the Knitting Expat … I started knitting in March 2014 while living in Dubai with my Husband and two cats as a way to keep me occupied while my Husband was away during the week for work … and I’ve barely put the needles down ever since.
We recently moved to Bahrain and in the last few months I have fallen in love with watching knitting podcasts … so in an attempt to get more involved in the online knitting community I have decided to start one of my own … This is a site for me to post my podcasts and shownotes and also a place where you can contact me if you wish …
You can also find me on INSTAGRAM and RAVELRY as well at YOUTUBE where I post my podcasts.
I also have a more lifestyle type blog called OUR ADVENTURES IN THE MIDDLE EAST where I post about our lives in the Middle East (First Dubai and now Bahrain) and what we get up to on a regular basis so you can always check in there …
I also post all my finished knitting projects on that blog too so you can check those out there …
Some of my other crafty/arty interests include sewing and photography for the most part but I am always interested in trying out new things …
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for stopping by and feel free to leave me a comment or ask any questions …

Knitting Expat 
Hi mina, i read that you began knitting in 2014. Did you teach yourself to knit? I find you to be such an inspiration. Im a mom of six that really just began knitting ..when i look at your work i feel encouraged that you have only been knitting for 3 years! And i hope that i too can make some progress in a few years .
