First working code

[liv]

I wrote a snippet of code that does something towards what I actually want to do! I'm really pleased because I wasn't sure I was going to be able to work out where to start, and I have a pretty good idea where to go from here.

Thanks to everybody who has been commenting on my random skill-learning notes! I'd like to make clear at this point that I very much appreciate encouragement, and general advice. But I would prefer not to have specific advice like, this is the syntax I'd use to do what you want / this is a tool that already exists to do this so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Right now I'm in a stage of learning by making my own, deliberately sub-par tools, and just being told the optimal way to accomplish my small task wouldn't help with that.

Möbius scarf

[liv]

My first knitting project was a little skull-cap, and I had a lot of fun with it. But that was a couple of years back, and I failed to get started again on the next project. ghoti_mhic_uait found me a pattern for a Möbius scarf, which is cool but relatively simple for my second ever project, and helped me to buy pretty purple wool and circular needles. But there is a complicated cast-on which I really struggled to learn from the video tutorial, so I got stalled for, um, years.

This weekend I actually got started again! ( learning physical skills )
