A dishcloth with attitude...

Now that school is back into full swing, I decided it was high time to get back into my knitting. I've been exchanging piano lessons for knitting lessons from Angela (fellow staff member) but I haven't done anything since before Christmas.

Angela brought some yarn and I brought my knitting needles and we had a knitting hayday, if you will. She brought a pattern for a dishcloth, which was quite helpful. I'm not exactly good with straight knitting and pearling. When I first looked at the pattern, I saw "Knit 2, yo." Now, what the hell does that mean?! So I asked Angela and apparently it's common sense that "yo" means "yarn over". She laughed for a long time about that one. I say my dishcloth has attitude.

But you should have seen the work that I did when Angela was watching! It looked so professional! For some reason, though, I seem to have a knitting block when it comes to knitting at home. I literally did TWO stitches before I realized that I had messed up! Conveniently, I was going to see Angela later at aerobics (where she fixed my mistake for me).

Sigh. I don't know how I manage through these hardships.
