I started out making bags and pockets for things like my knitting needles and ipads and stuff because the stitches are easier to count and I could practice patterns and stuff. Fuck counting stitches.
Some people start with granny squares and sew them up into a blanket.
The point is and Iām gonna be harsh here, if youāre dropping stitches on a blanket then youāre probably not ready for a blanket.

Iāve done granny squares but really didnāt want to stitch everything together at the end,
I didnāt forget the stitch at the end, and didnāt drop a stitch.
Iām doing the lemon peel stitch and it turns out while listening to an audiobook I did two DC in a row, which made me finish on a SC when not meant to. Iāve sorted that out now and trying to get the hang of everything again/pay more attention.

I donāt like sewing pieces together either thatās why I crab stitch them together instead.

Also I found my tension kind of sucked so they were slightly inconsistent sizesā¦ figured Iād do a continuous stitch to try and work on the rhythm

Thatās why you start making small stuff first so you can practice tension.
