I learned how to knit in first year university - our residence floor don knit beautifully and offered to teach anyone who was interested how to knit what I realize now was a kind of a complicated sweater - but I was hooked and kept going all through my 20’s - mainly fair isle and other colour patterns until family life took over. Dipping in and out of my needles over the years has taught me that 1) I really don’t like changing colours because I truly hate weaving in the ends 2) pure wool makes my hands itch so I stick to soft acrylics 3) I am clearly an amateur because I will have to look up many of the terms you use above to identify what kind of knitting style I use 🤣 and 4) I love knitting blankets and cool scarves because the nature of the patterns means I can knit while watching basketball through the winter months without losing my place. Hmmmm... maybe it’s time to cast on another blanket for baseball season.

A blanket for baseball season sounds like a great idea! I'm doing some mindless stockinette while I watch baseball this year.
