Hello and warm welcome from a chilly damp Seattle.
I had to give up knitting for a long while but I'm taking it up again. Apparently I have pretty much forgotten the few things I ever knew. That's ok, I find it soothing and I'm sure I'll have a very nice dog blanket when I'm done

And my skills will improve.
So we are all always beginning and improving in one way or another, I've seen some people who have done wonderful things on their first projects, but I've seen a lot more than looked like my first!
