I’ve never knitted before but I wanted to make roughly 90% of the items in there. I think I’m going to start off in the beginning with the square scarf and work my way up the different patterns…

Ooh, post pics! I'm a knitter (or was/am when I used to have time) and love to see others' pics. I'm finishing up a sweater myself (2 years in). It looks like a lot of the knits in that book are with fine gauge yarn. Many have very interesting construction. Let us know how the scarf goes.

I don't have the patience for fine gauge anymore. I remember making things on size 1 and 2 needles! Now I prefer thick chunky yarns that work up fast.

In the beginning you should count your stitches at the end of every row. It is common for beginners to accidentally drop or add stitches.

This sweater is on size 2s. I hope you can post your chunky knits and @Kevinaxx can post their scarf somewhere on this site. I only have like 1 inch left of my sweater sleeve, and then will weave in the ends and be done! If you're taking suggestions, Kevinaxx, I'd recommend one small project first, like a square dishcloth, just to practice learning. and purposely drop some stitches to practice picking them back up, a much more important skill in knitting than crochet.

Got myself another humidifier (but for my condo this time, gonna surround my plants with it).

And vinegar to clean this one with, probably will reactivate the one one at work. Stopped because my plants died but I’m trying again.

You went to Kinokuya! Stationary heaven too, I'm told.
Also I knit, but haven't last year since inks already keep me busy. But I'll look up that book. Thanks!
