Being modeled by my dog:
It was surprisingly easy to do the stripe, I was expecting everything to fall apart! The real challenge was keeping the end from unraveling when I was done, but I managed… barely.

I… recognize a few of those words!
In all seriousness thank you so much for the advice! I’ll definitely research what each of those stitches are before my next attempt, it will be nice not having the whole thing roll up on me.
Also no it wasn’t intentional, I literally bought a loom kit and googled how to knit a scarf and just did the first thing I saw haha. We all have to start somewhere!
Yes, the jargon is one of the first hurdles.
Absolutely! The first hat I knit I tore up twice because I made mistakes. Counting to 3 is hard. And in the end I couldn’t wear it because I chose a cast-on that couldn’t stretch enough and it wouldn’t fit over my head.
If you’re interested, I can recommend Maggy Rigetti’s book “Knitting in plain English”
Great book for beginners and seasoned knitters alike.
