I haven’t even made it that far yet. I don’t know what to make at all. Garment, accessory, who knows? Although I don’t think I’m quite experienced enough for full-on garments yet, I don’t have good consistency with tension yet so rows don’t look uniform. Also, I’m not completely new to knitting but my know-how is very much beginner level.

What is the last item you knit that ended up having really good technique such as: good tension, no dropped stitches? And could you tell me if it was a project knit in stockinette or garter stitch?

None of my projects have had good tension, although dropped stitches don’t really become a problem because just as I compulsively hit Ctrl+S, I also compulsively add lifelines.

This is good data!

What is the most recent project you’ve made?

A tea cozy.

I have no more need for tea cozies, and neither do people I know.

Thank you for helping me! I hope I’m not coming off hostile—tone on the internet is difficult sometimes.

(I hadn’t detected any sassy tone, don’t worry!)

I was going to suggest a beanie but looking at tea cozies, I’d say that will probably feel like more of the same.

How about a headband or a cowl? A headband can be done over a weekend and a single twist headband is way easier than it looks.

Thanks for the links!

Also, your username, somewhat cause for concern on a knitting community. Are you okay?

Your username also makes me hope you might know the answer to this question. Sometimes after I’ve been knitting for awhile, continuing makes individual fingers feel the same thing as when you purposely flex your knuckles. Is this normal, a sign I should stop, a sign my technique is wrong, or something else?

Thank you again for your help!
