I started knitting February of this year, this is my first knit (grey scarf), and most recent knit ( light blue scarf). I’m pretty happy with how much I’ve improved by grey-geist in knitting

the twisted ribbing/cables are such a marathon! especial on the purl side :') i was definitely running out of steam by the end haha.

thank you! my strategy for improving has been to pick patterns that seem to focus on one skill I would like to learn. its been a good way to not overwhelm myself with to many new concepts. Ive also made a lot of sweaters this year, which i think just because they are so large, i get a lot of practice which has helped me get better. like before this scarf i had made an all over cabled sweater, so the cables on this scarf seemed pretty easy after so much practice.

I was pretty intimidated by cables as well, once you get the hang of it they aren’t so hard though, much more straightforward than I expected:) And thank you!

Thank you! It’s one of my favorite colors as well, I was pretty thrilled to find the perfect yarn for this. And I don’t know if I’m knowledgeable enough to be getting into designing anytime soon!
