Has anyone finished their dishcloth?

Here's a photo of my completed cloth, using Bernat Handicrafter, in the color "Psychedelic".

I am almost done with mine. I have done about 5" of the dishcloth. 4 more inches to go and then I have completed my first knitted project. Can't wait!!

And I love yours. Love that color you choose.

I finished my "Bernat Handicrafter Stripes Dishcloth To knit" I used some of my stash, so I didn't get the strips. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. It is getting better.

Woo Hoo! Excellent work! Nice and square! And your stitches are even!

I have completed another one, the " Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Twists Ridged Dishcloth To Knit". I used the Peaches'n Cream Twists in the Hampton Twists. Each time I finish a dishcloth things seem to be getting better and easier. I just started the " Waffle Dishcloth" I hope I'm doing this one right. I am really enjoying the learning experience.

Thanks so much Shandeh. I couldn't have done any of this without your help.

I would like to start another topic, called "Learn to Knit II", where we make an "Easy" project instead of a "Beginner" project.

I am considering three different projects. Which one of these would you all like to work on next?

Satin Coin Purse
With this project, we would learn some decrease and some increase stitches, how to do the purl stitch, how to make a buttonhole, and how to seam.



Super Value Slippers
This project would teach us decreases and increases, simple seaming, and how to make a pom-pom.



Striped Scarf
This project would show how to do the purl stitch, how to tell the difference between the right and wrong sides of the project, and how to change colors.
