I started my 2020 goals way early. I got started in October, so welcome to 2020, things are going okay. One of my big goals for 2020 is to keep learning, and teaching myself new skills that I can enjoy for basically the rest of my life, and I'm starting with knitting! My mom taught me how to knit when I was around 12, maybe? And I haven't touched it since because I found it so difficult at the time. It was stuck in my head like a weird frustrating puberty hormone-driven angst that I really needed to get over. And I finally did in the last two weeks.
It all started with a painfully time-consuming practice swatch that I unraveled before taking a photo, sparing your eyes this displeasure of so many holes. How I kept missing stitches is beyond me, I'd just look down and three rows ago there would be a big hole. It happens.
After the rage-unraveling was over, I just picked it up and tried again, and all of a sudden it made sense.
Because I have this nasty habit of jumping straight into things a bit faster than I should, I decided that instead of a scarf (the standard first knitting project) I would make a hat. Look, I have a bunch of scarves, I'm all set. And it's literally almost 80 degrees in December as I'm writing this, a big wooly scarf isn't going to get a lot of use. A bright yellow hat, on the other hand, was much needed in my cool weather wardrobe.
I picked up a chonky skein of Lion Brand's yarn in Mustard for just a couple bucks and I didn't even use the whole skein for the hat and pom pom. Do I love acrylic based yarn? No, not really. But, for my first project, I didn't want to splash out on a nice skein and end up with it in a knot. Along with the yarn I ordered circular knitting needles that I knew I would need for this and an upcoming project.
Then: hat creation
I bounced back and forth between her video and Outlander (can you blame me) for a few hours and BAM. Hat complete. I didn't love the simple hat alone and with the extra yarn I had leftover, I made a lil pom pom and sewed it on.
Next up? I want to learn different knitting patterns, wish me luck.
