Just a quick complaint about a new knitting project...

[electric_blue68]

I should add yarn craft is my 3rd or 4th creative outlet.

Arrrggg...

I tend to smallish, medium small projects.
No blankets, bed spreads, afghans, sweaters, tops etc for me. I salut those who can! Self taught at 50 yrs old. Same for crochet I learned about 4 years later.

My 2 big projects were a 10" X 5 ft scarf in my heady days of first finally learning how to basically knit and purl! 2 previous tries at 17, and mid 30's. Scarf had loads of different knit & purl patterns as I went along.
Crocheted a Big Cowl 30" a round, and 19" high using tripled chunky yarn! Had to get rid of it some years later but I do want to remake it.

Anyway I make smaller decorative scarves, mostly. A few bracelets. An ear band or two. I started one beret but lost it.

I'm trying to knit a decorative scarf but I keep messing up this new for me yarn. It's multi strands cotton blue grey with a very pretty about hair thin polyester strand with intermittent turquoise - cerulean blue glow. Soooo pretty.

But I keep adding a stitch sometimes, dropped one, when you ?pick up something that crosses over your current main stitch. And I'm only doing 11 stitches after I got frustrated w 14! 😑😑😑

Trying to make sure I twist it tight when making the next stitch so the multi strands don't get caught. That at least I've been mostly successful, been willing to leave a few messes.

Oh, well, I just needed to vent.
I will hopefully keep working at it till I get right!

I do have a much easier project to start along w that. My first try with fake fur!
An ear band. That should be done in a few days- while it's cold enough to wear it!👍
