Starting to knit!

Hey guys! This weekend I decided to pick up knitting! I actually used to knit a bit (before crochet!) but I never really made any projects. I made some swatches and tried out different stitches!



They’re not fantastic, but I’m pretty proud!
The stitches I did were:
Garter stitch
Stockinette stitch
Rib stitch
And seed stitch!
Let me know what you think! Also, if you’re a crocheter, I challenge you to try knitting this year!

Good thing you only need to know two :rofl:
The rest of them are made by alternating the two basic stitches. For example rib stitch is knit one pearl one
So you’re halfway there!!!

Those look so good! I should do another knit project, my first knitting project (I did it about 6 months ago) was one of those viral knit frogs! Needless to say…… that wasn’t the best first project :rofl:! But it did mean I learned lots of techniques and stitches though!

I crochet but I’ll give knitting a try this year. Looks like you did great to me.

I’m working on learning to knit too!
Because I want to make cute clothes :’)

I found a pretty followable sweater pattern for beginners which made me soo happy!! (I couldn’t find something cute and easy to understand for so long-)

The sweater pattern for if anyone who wants it :3
And she has a written pdf version (I’d suggest having it pulled up and follow along with it and the video so maybe you get a bit more comfortable with the written patterns if you don’t understand it well)

I’ve not gotten very far and I’m taking my sweet time with it because other than just a bunch of square swatches, this is going to be the first thing I really knit Dx
I made a mistake and so I had to go back a bit
(I’ve learned how to pick up stitches after frogging, but definitely put in a safety line first!!! It’s wayy nicer (I will probably put in safety lines as a knit so if I make another mistake it won’t be so tricky frogging and fixing it TvT)

I’m making it in all white first so I know that I can make it and I’ve got the right size and them I’m hoping to make it blue with white stripes :3

Ive got the collar ribbing done and I’m trying to do german short rows for the neckline, it’s not too complicated, but it’s still tricky rip-

I knit continental style, it’s almost like crocheting except you don’t have a hook at the end tbh
It’s pretty fun to knit :]
