Rec'd on 🧶 KNITTING TIPS?
knitting is rough but once you learn how tight to have your stitches it works out
you also might have a hard time bc knitting can take longer than crocheting. i personally learned to knit first and then crochet, which i bet is easier than learning to crochet first then knit. regardless, good luck!

thanks!! I’ve definitely been noticing that I need to loosen up my stitches but it’s such a weird adjustment from crochet since yarn tension is so important with it. it is rough so far lol but I’m willing to see the rough period through if I can make fun stuff eventually

Learning to crochet
Faster than knitting, also easier to learn. I prefer to knit on a machine anyway. With crochet, a lot of the magic is in its flexibility of the stitches. How magical!

DONT HOLD THE TENSION SO TIGHT
i had this problem going from crochet to knitting you just gotta be a bit loose with it - i think knitting benefits from looseness in a way that crochet doesn’t ! also you can fix dropped stitches reaaaally nicely with a crochet hook if you didn’t know that already :-)

U GOT THIS QUEEN
so my mom is a knitting instructor and i’ve learned to knit and crochet with some of her help — highly recommend starting super simply and with each project adding on a new little thing! start with a scarf or even a washcloth is a great beginner project and learn basic cast on, knit stitch, cast off and just practice that first! take it slowly. i had such a hard time transitioning from crochet to knitting bc it is totally harder so take it slow and learn foundations and you’ll get to socks in no time.

the library
seriously, if you haven't gone to your local library yet, you're missing out! i try to go every couple of weeks to return books and get more. while i love owning my own books as well, borrowing them from the library is great as well! not to mention what they do for ur local community, the resources they have, etc. all of this to say: go visit your local library!!!
