Dishcloth KAL/CAL

I almost forgot I did this one. This is the Raindrop Dishcloth. I'm still practicing my knitting.

Wow this looks great! So nice and neat and tidy stitches.
I am still working on my tension. I made a diagonal cloth the other day and I have rows that look almost like I purled them cuz of my tension being so darned wrong. I figure if I keep knitting the basic diagonal increase/decrease cloth that eventually it will magically fix itself!

Thanks, I keep trying. I just let the needle be my gauge. I try not to wrap to tight or to big. I find that if I do it the continental way (holding yarn in left hand) I go much faster but a little to tight. I was hoping with more practice mine would get better. I am working on the Bernat Feather and Fan Dishcloth and it's easy. I just finished the Lily Brick Stitch Dishcloth and it was easy and came out cute. I like the dishcloths because I can do them quick and I am learning what the stitches do.

This is the Lily Brick Stitch Dishcloth I finished. It's fun and easy. I have had my eye on the Bernat Crochet Stripe Blanket, it looks like this but crocheted.

You are turning into an accomplished knitter! You should try knitting a garment soon.

This is my attempt to do cables. I need more practice on these. This is the Lily Celtic Cables Dishcloth.

Not too bad for a first, keep at it, you'll do wonders

I love how you bravely dive into new techniques! Your first cables are awesome!

Thanks lialab and Shandeh. I heart goes out to Shandeh. She has taught me to knit and not to be afraid of it. Being a new knitter, I wanted to quit several times, but Shandeh was always there telling me "what a good job I did" even thou I knew I had some mistakes and that it could look much better, she was always there cheering me on. Posting pictures and having feed-back helps a lot, so, thanks lialab and Shandeh, and all my other friends here in the Bernat Forums.
