technically not my first time because I tried it 11 years ago when I was 9 years old at some extracurricular activity after school, but I decided to pick up knitting to reduce my stress levels (what third year of university does to you!). I’m very happy with how it looks so far. a couple holes here and there but nothing too bad. I don’t know what pattern this is but it’s just the most basic knit stitch (?) and in a rectangle ???? I started yesterday and have been obsessed since. my hands just naturally picked it up!
