Hi! I just learnt how to knit a couple months ago, when I started to attend a meetup group with my mom. I learned to crochet in school, but I always failed to learn knitting, maybe because I'm left handed?. But something clicked now that I'm an adult and I'm hooked. I'm mostly taking on smaller projects like hats and mittens, these are the first I made to give away to a friend for her little girl (3yo) but they ended up being too small lol.

Used free patterns found online, the mittens were done with crochet. I don't know what else to put in here ๐Ÿ˜… So feel free to ask if I'm missing some important info here, please.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, I look forward to keep sharing my projects in such an encouraging and lovely community ๐Ÿ’•

I actually was meandering through some crochet tutorials recently and saw the tips about stitch markers and I definitely think that would make a huge difference! When I pick it up again I will try that.

I mostly wanted to crochet granny squares and make blankets like my gramma did...and be able to make certain other things WAY faster than knitting allows. We will see if I can catch on eventually, haha.
