After a long and stressful month of June, I decided I needed a little less intense knitting than my Bayerische sock.  To those who wonder, this does not mean I have not worked on the sock, just that over the last week I’ve focused on knitting the Peaches & Creme.  As you can see, I’ve created a small pile of dishcloths.

First, we have the Dragonfly and His Dinner in Cream.  This was a quick knit, but I did have to pay close attention to the row I was on.  When I didn’t, my dragonfly ended up with lopsided wings.

Next is the Knitted Round Dishcloth in Daisy Ombre. This was another quick knit, but the finished cloth is a bit larger than I’d expected.

Below is a DW dishcloth in Sea Breeze.  It is interesting how emphasized the stripes look in the photo.  They are noticeable in person, but not quite as bold. I may have to try this in the Daisy Ombre and see how it looks.

Finally, there are two different Swish with a Twist, in Yellow and Delft Blue.  I really enjoy this one, and I’ll probably knit up a few more in additional colors.  But, knitting this pattern was not without problems.  My two dishcloths do not match.

Do you see the difference in them? Can you notice it below?

In this one, the difference is more pronounced. If you fail to read the pattern note that instructs to slip all stitches with the yarn on the wrong side of the work, the finished item will look like the blue cloth. If you notice where the stitches cross, the elongated stitches are surrounded by the carried yarn from the slipped stitch. In the yellow cloth, the carried yarn is at the back, and the stitches cross cleanly.

I still need to get started on a ballband dishcloth.  I’ve been meaning to knit one, but it’s just that there are so many other great patterns out there.  I am looking for more patterns because I have a huge pile of cotton.  Know a great pattern that I should knit?  Leave it in the comments and I’ll take a look.
