I Finally finished my first knitted item, a dishcloth. I started teaching myself back in May. I got halfway through a scarf, decided it was the most horrible thing I had ever seen and put it up.

I went back to my crochet and finished a bunch of other projects.
I decided about a week ago that I had to start back up again with the knitting and got a pattern book for dishcloths. It only took 3 attempts to get this finished. The second is coming along much better.

The Pattern book is Nifty Knit Dishcloths (yes, very original) by Leisure Arts.
