I actually knit this up a little while ago, but it looks like I can finally knit! It takes a lot longer than crochet for me, but then there's the whole bit about practice.
This simple dishcloth is the Woven Seed Dishcloth from Ravelry and it took about four tries to get the stitching right. I started it, then went to the 2nd session of my knitting class and learned that I had been doing the pearls all wrong! No wonder it looked wrong .. but it got fixed.
Weaving!
I got a loom at Stitches West! a few months ago and finally pulled it out and wove. It was easier, and harder, than I thought it would be. Warping is easy on the Ashford Knitting Loom (I have the 20" one) and the weaving itself is simple to do, but hard to master. The warp is Wool Ease in 2 colors, and the weft is a blue handspun that I received in a swap. It's more warp faced than I planned, but I was pulling in the weft more than I should without really understanding what I was doing.
