Well done! You're doing fabulously! The main thing I notice from your photograph is that, even in this first small-scale piece of work, your knitting is becoming more even as you knit more - you're getting a better rhythm and tension. You get better simply by doing it, so my number one tip is: keep doing it 😍
I like that you've picked a nice bright coloured yarn, too - pleasant to knit with andeasy to spot changes, whether they are intentional or they have created themselves.
I didn't purchase stoppers until only the other day - your elastic bands are a good solution and I get them free (wrapped around the mail). I learned when I was about seven - my dad taught me when he saw I was trying to work out how to do it myself. I knew the basics in my teens, but sewing was so much quicker when you wanted to create a garment. Really, though, I have come into my own through #needleworkmonday and all the great knitters and tips which pass through here 😍 💕😘

Yay that means a lot coming from you! I’ve really been focusing on keeping the tension the same so I’m so glad you notice that from my work!
Okay good to know, I like the sound of free so I will continue using the bands for now :)
That is so true about sewing. That’s what I like most about it, it’s much quicker.
I’m so grateful to be surrounded by all of you experienced knitters! I have so many tips at my fingertips that you all have shared . I’ll be going through some of the olds posts to reread things that will help me along the way ;)
Thanks again ~ 😘
