It's not perfect, but this is my favorite thing I've made! (lemmy.world)

I started knitting specifically with this project in mind and was so happy once I was able to make it.

Congratulations on your project! I'm just starting my knitting journey as well, with a pullover as the end goal. How long was it before you felt comfortable tackling the project? The color is lovely! (Also, your hair is stunning, if you don't mind could you dm me your hair routine?!)

I'd made at least 10-15 smaller projects before I started on this, including a more basic knit "test" sweater with shorter sleeves. It still felt daunting starting this, but I just read through the pattern ahead of time and tried to understand when/why I'd have to do certain steps.

Thanks for the hair compliment! I could definitely dm you and share whatever you want to know, unfortunately the color I've been using has been discontinued so I'm about to try a new one soon 🤞
