What Knitting My First Socks Taught Me

Описание: This video is about knitting my very first pair of socks — mistakes, learning moments, and all.

Side note: I’m also learning the YouTube side of things as I go — audio levels included — and I’ve already adjusted that for future videos 🤍

I didn’t start out trying to make perfect socks. I just wanted socks.
Along the way, I learned a lot about patience, problem-solving, and letting myself be a beginner.

If you’re new to knitting (or learning something new later in life), I hope this encourages you to keep going.
