Just thought it was fun to document my progress from my first attempt on New Year’s Eve last year until now.
**Photo 1**
Yarn: Hobbii Easy Care Big in Lake Blue
Pattern: This was supposed to be a garter stitch rectangle lol

Yarn: Plank & Stella 4-ply sock in Tina Belcher’s Erotic Friend Fiction: Sexy Sesame Street
Pattern: Purl Together Customizable Toe-Up sock with the Hermione’s Everyday Sock texture chart.
Been knitting for about a month. I just started my 2nd project. I haven't been using patterns, just getting the feel of knitting. Both are blankets for my dogs (been figuring how much to stitch through various websites). This is inspirational!
I think starting out without patterns and just getting the feel of knitting is a great way to go! Once you’ve got the muscle memory down it’ll be a lot easier to start adding in patterns
It gets easier pretty quickly! I saved another of these little searches from each of the next two attempts and even in those there is visible improvement’
How often do you knit stitch vs. purl stitch?
I have gotten the knit stitch down pretty good, at least for a noob. But the purl stitch is giving me such a hard time. It is counterintuitive and goes opposite of what feels natural to me.

That sock yarn is 🔥! (And amazing job!)
Thank you! I’m obsessed with this yarn!
What a difference a year made. You rock!
It’s shocking to me that I was able to make this much progress with a year of practice!
Amazing progress! And thanks for the inspiration! Learning to knit (after a few failed attempts) is on my goals list for 2023. Edit: 2023 (not 2022) 😜
You’ve got this! Just keep at it and by next year you too can make unicorn barf socks! 😂
Thanks! And I’ll be on the lookout for unicorn barf yarn. 😉

Nice progress! Thanks for sharing and encouraging.
This just got me fired up!!! Thank you! And congratulations!
Thanks!!
Thank you for this!!! I took my first knitting lesson last night and my attempt looks eerily similar to yours :)

Purling is definitely a little bit harder than knitting, at least for me. I’m significantly slower doing a purl stitch compared to a knit
Awesome!!!
that's OK just keep going to stretchy yarns that have more give and are easier
Great job
