Yay thank you so much! I’m loving all of this feedback and definitely need it. Lol I think that’s what I did. I started with 20 stitches and now have 21. 😄 Maybe it would be a good thing to watch a couple of videos on dropped stitches.

I’m seeing that those stoppers aren’t a necessity. Others have said scrunch up your work and hide the needles in the yarn. Thanks so much for the tip.

Awesome, you just confirmed my next move. I was going to practice the knit stitch for a little longer and then start learning the purl so I could incorporate them together.

Oooh circular needles 😳 I’m so intimidated by them lol. So to do a baby blanket those would be the needles I need?

Thank you so much for your thorough response :)
