Hi! I just learnt how to knit a couple months ago, when I started to attend a meetup group with my mom. I learned to crochet in school, but I always failed to learn knitting, maybe because I’m left handed?. But something clicked now that I’m an adult and I’m hooked. I’m mostly taking on smaller projects like hats and mittens, these are the first I made to give away to a friend for her little girl (3yo) but they ended up being too small lol.
Used free patterns found online, the mittens were done with crochet. I don’t know what else to put in here 😅 So feel free to ask if I’m missing some important info here, please.
Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, I look forward to keep sharing my projects in such an encouraging and lovely community 💕
Once I figured it out, I found crochet to be great, but I spent a good while on Afghan crochet as a bridge.
Finding a really good instruction book with LOTS of intermediate diagrams for each of the major stitched seemed essential. Then of course there were zillions of samples to be made before anything in a project was possible.
