The Final Stitches

I headed home for the first half of March break, and with me, I took my homework, which included my knitting. Without having places I needed to be, and actually having time to really sit down and work, my dishcloth came together in no time!

The Nearly-Done Dishcloth

I felt my experience with following an actual pattern, to create a project was the one which I feel I gained the most skill/knowledge about knitting. By following the pattern, I was able to pick-up the differences between the way knits and purls look on the needle. Catching onto this was helpful, as it made it easier to tell which stitch I needed to do next without recounting every previous stitch. It also allowed me to notice if I was doing the pattern wrong early, thus cutting back on the number of stitches I had to take out, to redo. That being said, there were still several instances where I had to back track.

Knitting the dishcloth did not often bring a lot of struggle, or frustration. I enjoyed seeing my project progress with every new row. Having finished my dishcloth, I am excited to start something new. I hope to continue my knitting, picking up new skills, such as being able to switch yarn, so I can use multiple colors in one project. Below you will see my final product!
