What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.
I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.
Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?
Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!
I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.
My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!
Thanks again
My first project was a dishcloth. Easy, fast, basic square, corner to corner, only one increase or decrease per row. Mostly just practicing the knit stitch over and over again. I did that until I had made so many that they were piling up. Then I moved to scarves, lol. To be fair, I was about 13 at the time. It was long long ago, lol.
