Any suggestions for a very, very first project? I’m not sure where to start!
Have you done any knitting at all yet? It’s usually a good idea to do something like a scarf or a dishcloth for a first project. You can learn how to do the knit and purl stitches, learn what the stitches look like, practice ribbing, etc. Just get a feel for knitting and get comfortable with it.
There are no hard and fast rules though. Check out the patterns at these links and see if something strikes your fancy. 
Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting.
I recommend an easy scarf too!! Have fun! :cheering: :cheering:
I agree, choose some yarn you really like and make a scarf. For a SECOND project, I suggest making a Poncho - it’s just two rectangles sewn together.
