Yellow Box 🏴‍☠️

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 :facepalm:

@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!

@iamtheyellowbox

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 😅

@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. 😀

@flicka It’s a fun little challenge. Definitely difficult for my very beginner skills, but I’m not bored! 😅
