I don’t know anyone irl who might be vaguely interested so I thought I’d post here! I’m making this hat for my MIL when I see her in a few weeks. It’s a free pattern and you can find it here.

      Well that’s the biggest compliment ever - thank you! I first learnt to knit in lockdown and my tension was so tight every stitch was a battle to get off the needle! My first 20 or so attempts were abominations 🤦🏼‍♀️

        Tension is the hardest thing to learn, I think, and it just takes practice. My first-ever knitting was also super tight, and it made purling a nightmare. Seems like you’re getting the hang of it!
