I'm no knitter. My wife? My wife's a knitter. The process is 1) Knit a test swatch so you can see how it reacts to your needles and ensure you have enough yarn 2) knit the whole thing 3) wet block it 4) Give it to whatever friend or relative it was promised to I encourage you to keep on "just doing" but I will also say that a little planning ahead of time will radically increase your satisfaction with the finished product. Mixing different fibers is going to induce a wretched nonlinearity into your project. My wife won't even mix different batches of the same yarn; the colors shift.
