While I was in college I learned how to know. It took me (at least) a couple years to finish a two scarves and I decided to call it quits after that. However, as I see more and more knit projects around, it makes me want to pick the hobby up again and again. I have been holding off for awhile now since I really don't need another expensive hobby. Finally, shortly before Christmas my grandma requested for me to make her some homemade dishcloths. She actually asked for crocheted dishcloths, but I took it upon my self to make knit ones. It's the same general idea, right?
So here we have it, my dishcloth experiment.
I started out by making her four. I chose four different patterns that allowed me to experiment a little on a new stitch or pattern style.

My first one. In the center, something got mixed up and the (hard
to see) diamond pattern become reversed. Whoops! |
 |
| The standard checkered pattern. Easy peasy. |

And my favorite one. This one turned out really well!
It has some texture that I think will work well on a dishcloth. |
All in all, I think I'm hooked. I really enjoy knitting!

these are very pretty...i am a terrible knitter
Way to go, Nichole! They look great!
Great colours and I'm impressed at the patterns you did - fancy!
In my opinion, knitted dish cloths are better than crocheted because they're not as rigid (the knitted ones). Next time, try doing them on point - they have a better shape that way because all sides are stretchy instead of just the sides and not the top/bottom when you go up straight :)
