Practice and tweaking: Getting better

I have done two more knitted hat and I think I find that my last try is  the best one.
Here is my second try, even if it is a short hat:

Here the last try that I made.  I had a good look at the instruction too and I made a few ajustment to fit better:

I still have to work on making pompom but I am on the right track.  For instruction, I always felt affraid and intimated by the instruction.  All the abreviation was really terrifying me.  I feel confident, now, in short instruction and short project.  I just have to take the instruction by chunk, focusing on the part I am doing.

Now, I may switch to getting some confidence for crochet.  After the first class of kitting/crochet that I took, I realized I was on my own with crochet because the teacher is right handed and I am left-handed.  It didn't worked well in the class, so, I am turning to videos.  I also realised, in class, that I knew the basic.  It just that I didn't knew the words about it.  So, maybe I will be good on my own.  The remaining classes will be for questions and questions on written pattern.
