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!
