Hi! I’m new to this forum and a new knitter! Started two months ago and loving it. I am learning mainly from blogs and videos on youtube, and have found that most of the content is in English (Portuguese being my mother tongue), so now and then I have some trouble understanding what I’m really supposed to do haha. I hope to find some guidence in here and help when I can

Hi Amy,
Thanks for letting me join!
I’m Paul, U.K, I’ve been knitting since childhood. Until recently I’ve only ever done my own patterns that I’ve made up, hence the reason for me joining as I didn’t understand the pattern. I would also love to hear from other male knitters as I have never met any either online or in person so it would be great to hear from a few!

Check if your local yarn shop has a men’s knitting group! Many do. And if they don’t, you could start one!
And there’s a Facebook group called Real Men Knit…
Hi I am new this forum, would love to learn about knitting and thought this would be a good place to start. I had done knitting when I was 12 years old because my dad’s aunt said, girls need to learn knitting, however, never continued later. But now I think it can help me to stay focused and use my energy in creating something.

Welcome back!
Yes, still here with questions, comments and loads of beautiful projects.
Hello! Im Hash and im from Florida USA. Im new to knitting but hope to become a master soon. Im learning in continental style because i hope to knit two handed color work one day. Im right handed and thought it would be smart to start with the non dominant hand first. So far ive completed one sock, three hedgehogs, one shawl, two christmas bulbs, and seven dish rags. The thing i love most about knitting is learning new stitches. Its so exciting to do anything thats more than a simple k1p1 I will have lots of questions and thank you all in advanced for letting me into the community.
