The first FO of 2008! I've been trying to use my (limited) knitting time to finish up loose ends, as it were. The closest to completion was this - the garterlac dishcloth. I started it when I was pregnant and hadn't yet figured out that my knitting ennui was really "I feel sick when I knit". And I was tired all the time, too. So it took a really long time to finish.
It's the first dishcloth I've knit for myself, and I'm happy to put it into circulation. We've been using the dishcloth I received in Dish Rag Tag a lot, and when it comes fresh out of the wash, the garter stitch is really lovely and tight - it makes a really great scrubbing surface. I may never use another pattern! (Although I have 3 balls of solid dishcloth cotton in the stash, so it's possible some kind of colorwork dishcloth is in order....)
Pattern: Garterlac Dishcloth, from Criminy Jickets
Yarn: Peaches 'n' Creme Ombres, from Dishrag Tag
Needles: Knitpicks Options Circular, size 7 (steel)
Love this pattern! And so begins FOs 2008. I'm hoping there are a lot of (somewhat small) projects this year!

That is a work or art. Are you sure it is a dishcloth? I loved the jimeny pattern but I haven't gone there yet! You did a great job
I still like that pattern a lot and will have to try it soon!
Great job! It's too pretty to use on dirty dishes!
Nice. I like that pattern. It's one of the best dishclothes I have.
