I was wondering how everyone got started with knitting?

Should I just start reading the written instructions? Or what? I find it really hard. I can't understand the written instructions - I can only follow the video tutorials. But even with the videos, there are so many things I just don't get, so I really have to go and ask professional teachers for help.

But in China, there are very few girls my age who are both young and experienced in knitting. At least among my close friends, I'm probably the only one who knows how to knit. So every time I need help, I have to drive 20 kilometers to find a knitting teacher to ask questions in person, which really gives me a headache.

I wonder how everyone got started and kept going with it, and how you found your knitting buddies?

To commemorate my first sweater project, but it's too small, I can't fit into it.

我花了一个多月才完成这个，期间看了教程视频，向编织老师请教。由于工作太忙，我每晚只能在9点或10点之后开始编织，一直做到凌晨1点。🥱🥱🥱

而且因为我犯了很多错误，所以每两天才进展一点点，第三天发现织错了又要拆掉，反反复复，这意味着我得花一整天拆掉错误的针法——这真是太让人沮丧了。╮(╯▽╰)╭

最终我完成了，但不幸的是，刚开始我就把这件衣服织得太小了。😂😂

一方面，我从来没有养成边织边测量的习惯；另一方面，作为一个初学者，在没有人告诉我必须按照织图严格来执行，也不知道怎么根据自己的身材调整图案（这件衣服的织图只有两个尺码，而我还不知道怎么区分尺码当时），所以当我完成按照图案织的时候，应该是S码的，我甚至起针时还漏了两个针，这让它变得非常紧身，以至于没有一丝赘肉的模特都很勉强的穿下去，而我得再减掉10磅才能穿得舒适。

现在这件衣服要么拆掉，要么就留作纪念，作为我第一次编织的作品。😭

Whats your toxic trait when it comes to knitting?

Personally I refuse to do gauge swatches . I know they are important but I want to actually start on the product and it has come back to haunt me but I wont ever learn my lesson.

What about you?
