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 😅 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 💕

Those look great! Your cables especially are very neat. I think I spent like my first 6 months knitting twisting my stitches until some kind soul straightened me out.
Ugh. Is that kind soul still in this world? I keep having to google the matter and squint at it for prolonged periods, and something about the difference has never quite clicked with me. The terminology, maybe. “This leg has to go on this side,” and all my brain does is verify that there are indeed two legs and a hole in the middle. Good job, Brain! 👍
I sure hope they are still around! I think it was a member on craftster.org, which is no longer, sadly.
At the risk of looking like an actual lunatic, please allow me to share my preferred way to visualize the “legs” of a correctly-seated and twisted knit stitch: https://i.imgur.com/qSpPd18.png
Not sure if that will make any difference for you, but the visual is always entertaining to me.
