Beginner Knitter Advice Please.

[ibe]

So I have had a desire for a while to try taking up knitting. So I thought why not start now in the hope that it will keep me occupied whilst in dry January/not sales shopping/scrolling endlessly on IG & Facebook

So I'm here for advice on the best way to start since childhood. Are there any apps that knitters would recommend for learning and places to buy decent (but not too pricey) 'starter kits' with patterns?

I don't want to go to crazy to start with as I can be the queen of starting hobbies and not committing in all honesty but I'd really like to find something to start creating a chill time that doesn't require me leaving the house due to wfh and disabilities that sometimes leave me in bed with pain.

I would really love to (over much---- time) be able to knit small toys.

TIA

Thank you

Can you try and edit it and remove the photos,

Quick Update:

AIBU to be excited about my 4 rows of knitting? Dropped stitches and all lol absolutely love this

It’s always so satisfying to see things grow.

I came on with a suggestion for Tom Bakers Dr WHO scarf.

here’s the pattern, it’s all just knit stitch

Absolutely wonderful! Just keep on going till you realise that for just a moment you looked up and watched something else and your hands kept knitting. It's like when you suddenly realise you've been typing without looking at the keyboard.

So I started a new piece yesterday evening and I've been enjoying knitting away whilst watching listening to the TV.

I can see an odd stitch or two that I've dropped, is there anything I can so to still save it?

I've also gone onto plastic needles after I sat on the wooden needles and broke them
