alt Hacker NewsThanks. This has been on my todo list for a while. I've ordered some supplies and will attempt a dishcloth (https://nimble-needles.com/patterns/easy-dishcloth-knitting-...) and work my way up from there.

A dishcloth is a great place to start, and I've learned ~90% of my knitting from Norman. He's great.
I will caution you that cotton yarn is definitely not the easiest yarn to start with. It has very little stretch which makes it hard to keep good tension and form stitches. Not impossible, just sort of difficult.
It's very much like learning to play guitar starting with an acoustic compared to an electric. Everything is a little stiffer and requires a little more finger strength.
So if you feel like it's more difficult than you expected, it may partially be because of the yarn.
