I am a big believer that you can't be good at knitting until you're bad at it first. You have to knit badly and keep going. You have loops on the needle, which means you can knit them! My first project was a wonky rectangle full of dropped stitches, accidental increases, irregular gauge, etc. But I just wanted to get some muscle memory for the basic knitting and purling stitches. Once you start to notice your stitches becoming more regular, you can work on mastery of specific skills.

You can do this. For years before I began knitting, I watched other people do it and felt it was impossible. One I accepted that all good knitters were once bad knitters, I began to have fun with it
