Hi! I just learnt how to knit a couple months ago, when I started to attend a meetup group with my mom. I learned to crochet in school, but I always failed to learn knitting, maybe because I'm left handed?. But something clicked now that I'm an adult and I'm hooked. I'm mostly taking on smaller projects like hats and mittens, these are the first I made to give away to a friend for her little girl (3yo) but they ended up being too small lol.

Used free patterns found online, the mittens were done with crochet. I don't know what else to put in here ๐Ÿ˜… So feel free to ask if I'm missing some important info here, please.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, I look forward to keep sharing my projects in such an encouraging and lovely community ๐Ÿ’•

Ohhh my goodness, I really needed that laugh. If I had a printer, that would go on my wall. Amazing.

Looking at this, my first thought was, "Oh, so they're posting up heavy/leaning on their right leg...." and I think I know what my problem is now.

It's because I spent a college semester looking at x-rays and memorizing body quadrants, etc. and when you're talking about a patient, they're facing you, so it's flipped. Your left side is their right.

It took me ages to stop messing up notes/homework, but once I did, it became permanent. And now I'm a 30+ adult that routinely confuses their own right and left hand. It is both funny and humiliating.

I'm still saving this, though. It's mine. Maybe if I physically mirror the position every time I reference it, it will eventually stick. Or perhaps sing the hokey pokey. I'll figure it out. Leaning on invisible wall in direction of needle.
