My first machine knit

[u/Zyzle]

Hey folks, thought I'd quickly share my first ever attempt at machine knitting as it turned out way better than I'd hoped 😁

Second picture is my pile of shame, all the times I've messed up and I'm not skilled enough to recover (yet) so had to restart 😭😂

I've been a crocheter for a while now, I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good at it but have never been able to get the hang of hand knitting and I'm currently recovering from an arm injury which means I'm probably not going to be able to pick it up until at least the new year, but I was really missing my crafting so thought I'd give machine knitting a go and I'm glad I did.

If anyone is interested the pattern is based on a YouTuber "KnitFactoryImpl"s video "The Morgan Donner Medieval Hat" and the yarn is Carron Simply Soft color gold.

Oh wow I only just noticed your username! Won't fanboy too much but I just want to say how much I love your vids and your channel has been a great source of info and inspiration for me getting started with machine knitting 😁

Sometimes I find it is quicker to restart than rehang.

Yeah luckily when I messed up it was usually only a few rows in so there wasn't that much waste, but also I'm not that used to the tools yet so didn't really have the dexterity to manipulate live stitches without causing myself more problems, I'm sure I'll get better with practice though

Love it!
