First lemmy knitting post from ex redditor!
(lemmy.world)
Hi all! Here’s a quick knit I made from a chart from the New Knit Stitch Library by Leslie Stanfield. This will eventually be made into a bag! Wanted to make my first knitting community contribution since making the move to lemmy!
Wow that's so encouraging and honestly makes me want to pick up knitting! How long did it take you to get to that point skillwise?
I’ve been knitting for quite a few years, but that’s not to say I couldn’t have done this sooner! Like the other person who commented said, you might be surprised by how quickly you can do it if you just give it a try! There are so many resources available on the internet these days to help learn and you just need to put in some time to practice!
Not OP but you might be surprised how quickly you can pick something like this up if you're willing to practise. Just start with the basics, how to cast on and do knit stitches, then purl stitches, and how to cast off. A lot of cool textures are just combinations of knit and purl so you'll be halfway there already.
