At 8:30 yesterday I’d never held knitting needles before. I have now just exhausted my first ever ball of wool. I wasn’t aiming to make anything. It’s literally just an exercise in learning to cast on, cast off, and hammer the simple knit stitch into my brain. I can see where I’ve been careless, and where I’ve been cocky, and where I’ve been impatient. I also cast on waaaay too many stitches at the start. But I can also see where I’ve nailed parts with consistent good technique and good tension so I’m proud of it.
Next ball will be used for more practice but to also start incorporating the purl stitch I’ve heard so much about.
Anyway. Just sharing because of excitement and silly pride ☺️🧶💪
Good job! The. colours are so fun!
Thank you🙂. I might have been overthinking it at the time but I bought the multicolour wool so that I might be able to see my journey more clearly at the end. The differences and errors between the blue band, yellow, etc as I got better. Turns out, they’re all peppered with errors anyway 😅
You should be very proud of this
This is exactly how you learn and get better! Kudos to you for learning a new skill!
I'm proud of you too. 👏 Good luck with your purls!
