Me: has knit exactly one thing, a scarf, in my life
My brain: let’s knit a tiny, complicated elephant next!
Why am I like this
@iamtheyellowbox My second project was a sweater. It's huge but the crewneck is so tight it barely fits over my head. Lol. You're doing great & if you hit a snag, ask here & someone (or 10) will answer. Lol. You got this!
@Heidiknits Lol. I want to make some sweaters sometime soon too! I love the idea of making things I can wear!
Not an idiot... or maybe a dedicated idiot ;- )
I was pretty much the same... I learned knitting mostly from knitting small amiguri things... but now (3 year later?) it still helps me as it is a great way to learn a lot about tension and using DPNS
@nobyeni I’m learning so much just on this one pattern! There is something to be said for just diving right into the complicated(ish) stuff
@iamtheyellowbox that's some sexy dpns, though
@Betty I wasn’t sure about the dpns at first, but they are oddly satisfying now I’m starting to get the hang of them a bit!
@iamtheyellowbox but it's going to to quick! And super cute! Says the person who started knitting tiny clothes for a knitted plushie that never even got started
@Ehna650 I’m really hoping he turns out well. I might end up making a few, before I’m happy. I’ve definitely gotten a few wonky stitches already on this one, but I’m kinda loving him anyway lol
@iamtheyellowbox I've only finished a scarf, so please send me the pattern.
@danmac I bought the pattern on Etsy. It’s a bit difficult for a beginner (I have had to YouTube a lot of the abbreviations and steps), but it’s gonna be so cute! Here is the link.
@iamtheyellowbox you can do it!
@flicka It’s a fun little challenge. Definitely difficult for my very beginner skills, but I’m not bored!
