Discovering Dishcloths, a week of firsts

Having a bad cold kept me from getting much done this week, but I found dishcloths all over the web and fell for their humble simplicity. I'd never knitted with cotton before, so even though there's a large collection of knitting needles in the house, I bought bamboo needles for the first time. I liked choosing which Sugar & Cream colors to bring home from the local Jo-Ann's.

The checkerboard pattern dishcloth was finished while watching late-night tv last night, all that's left to do is weave the tail across the border. But for a project, it's quick enough for instant gratification. I expect to knit more of these, trying different stitches.
