Hardly the most exciting photo, but my knitting has improved so much lately and I'm really pleased with how neat this hat looks so far. (lemmy.ca)

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.

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!
