@Timecircleline I’d recommend a hat. It’s quicker than a scarf and you learn lots more from it (eg: decreases).
Also, if you come from crochet, take a look at continental knitting! You tension the yarn in your left hand which is more crochet-like.
If a long tail cast on (probably what your mum was trying to teach you) was too much at once, try a knitted cast on: put a slip stitch on your left needle, knit it but don’t slide it off, put the new stitch next to it on your left needle, repeat.
@thegiddystitcher yes and you can combine them if you want! You could do Tulipmania, Arabesk and Bass and go white-pink-black-white if you were so inclined. It’s marvellous.
@catsdoingcatstuff Schoppel Wolle is a very original brand!
#FallFinishAlong progress: finished the booties and socks, baby cardigan is waiting for the button to arrive, jumper is waiting for my mum to try it on and decide on sleeve/hem length (will block it beforehand), found a newborn hat that still needed blocking. Decided not to work on the ribbed hat because it doesn’t need finishAlong mojo. Picked up my huge striped #crochet #harbourBlanket instead. @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world #knitting
@Emotional_Series7814 @Sidhean it might not be suitable if you knit for relaxation, but you can do anything one stitch at a time!
@thegiddystitcher thank you! It looks like a lot, but the baby things are of course teeny, the jumper is a really fun, fast knit and I need all the positive finishing vibes for those socks: the yarn is uncomfortable to knit with and I made something up pattern-wise on the first sock, didn’t write it down and now can’t really remember! So I just need to get on with it and finish the things.
