On the #knitting news, I’ve been practicing and I’m starting to get a feel for it! Muscle memory is kicking in. Switching to bamboo needles helped.

My brain wants to understand how this intricate dance of the needles produces interlocking loops. It’s kinda magical. 😄

I kept ending up with additional stitches and I figured out tonight that I would sometimes start a stitch while my previous one wasn’t fully completed. I messed up a few times in this piece but I was able to recover.

A small piece of yellow knitting, about 2 x 6 inches, completed with the casting off done, laying down on top of my laptop next to my bamboo needles.
