Each time I finish a dishcloth things seem to be getting better and easier. I just started the " Waffle Dishcloth" :huh: I hope I'm doing this one right. I am really enjoying the learning experience.

QueenE79 did not change colors. The yarn was "self-striping" which means it changes colors as you knit.

Here are some examples of self-striping yarns:

I going to have to order some online. The stores here are very limited on the Bernat yarns. Can't find any of the stripping yarn other than the Bernat Satin in the Luxury Ombre. Now the Satin is even getting hard to find. Thanks for the pictures and I'll check out the colors to order.

:knit: I finished the "Bernat Handicrafter CottonTwists Waffle Dishcloth To Knit". I used the Lily Sugar'n Cream in the Aloe Vera. This was a fun one to do. Learning to try new stitches. Thanks Shandeh for getting me hooked on knitting. Having a GREAT TIME.

I like this pattern! and I like the yarn you used. Is that dishcloth pattern posted here somewhere?
It also makes me think that the seed stitch but with k1below could be a great stitch for a dishcloth too!

Zhanie, This is a Bernat Pattern. It was tons of fun to do and much prettier than it appears. I think you'd enjoy doing it. :knit:
