So here's a photo of my first practice piece. It's knit stitch only, and I haven't bound off yet. I was definitely getting into a pretty good (if not exactly *fast*) rhythm yesterday. Now that e_moon60 has brought it to my attention in a comment on yesterday's post, I think the tension isn't bad for a beginner. I can also spot where I've dropped stitches,

Thanks! It's fun learning a new skill. I know YouTube videos will help since I can't always be interrupting my neighbour for her assistance. :-)
