With your dishcloths, do you use a pattern or have you developed your own? I'm a new knitter, have made some just with garter stitch, they're ok. Best yet is Deb at Homespun Living's pattern - easy to do (and a lesson for me in getting to grips with knit and purl and getting the yarn in front when necessary!) and has a lovely waffle texture. Am now doing my own pattern with moss stitch. I use 4mm needles and dk cotton...so far. Are the needle sizes you've put english or us? Endless questions...sorry...in short, a dishcloth post would be wonderful!! Have a wonderful weekend.
