New Hobby! Yay!

Anonymous Bold Prowler #877 · General

I just started knitting and I am so excited but also nervous! My grandmother taught me the basics over video chat because she can't come visit right now. It's like learning a whole new language, you know? Sticks, loops, needles... So many parts to keep track of. And it's not as easy as it looks in those YouTube videos. I dropped my first stitch about five times before getting the hang of it. My hands were all sore from holding the needle right at the end too. But you know what? I love it! There’s something so calming about putting loops through loops and watching a scarf start to form under my fingers. It's like building with wool instead of blocks or legos. And every time I make a mistake, which is often because I'm still learning, I just have to fix it by taking out the stitches one by one. No big deal, really. So here’s to being a knitting newbie and loving every goofy moment along the way! Can’t wait till my grandmother comes to visit so we can show her my first project.
