I've been knitting for long enough that I can whip through most small patterns, but have had a limited diversity in my projects, so still find novelty in simple things.
I had never done a miter before! I definitely enjoyed watching the shape take form. This project is quick, even if it's not as quick as the Grandmother's Favorites I've been making for years and recently abandoned.
I do have one gripe, though. And it's my own mistake
Has anyone else fallen out of love with the longtail cast on for flat projects? Always stuck with a purl row already on your needles?
I've been rethinking my obsession with this particular cast on, so decided to utilize a cable cast on for this project.
I wish I had stuck with the longtail.
This pattern is designed to be made with a longtail cast on. The pattern is written so that the initial border will only be complete if you use it. I didn't, so my first garter ridge section is one ridge short.
Whoops.
The dishcloth was also way bigger than I was expecting!
Will make again, next time with one needle size down (because I knit loose, so the fabric on mine came out a little thin), and with a longtail cast on.
This dishcloth was knit on size 7 needles with just over half a skein of Lily Sugar'n Cream Twists in Green and half a skein of Lily Sugar'n Cream Solids & Denims in an unknown colorway because I lost the label.
