become a better knitter

I’m working on my first hat ever and it’s going good for far. I splurged and bought some 100% wool in this gorgeous fading blue and purple yarn. I hope it turns out!

I’m going to use a gift card I have to buy the Bitch ‘n Stich knitting book. I think my main problem is that I was never formally trained how to knit so everytime I read those patterns my head spins! It’s a totally new language! But I really need more free time to get better :)
