Bernat Tulip Dishcloth

After the "Feather and Fan" fiasco, I gave the tulip dishcloth pattern on the same Bernat label a go. It turned out much better. It is a good size for a dishcloth and actually feels really good. There was an error in the pattern with the stitch count in one row, but because of the symmetrical pattern, it was easy to spot and fix. Thank goodness, because I would have been really ticked if neither of the knit patterns on that darn label worked out!

Here's a close-up of the tulip detail:

Feather and Fan dishcloth

This is my first completed knitting project. The first project I started is a bag, but I'm still working on that. Hopefully I'll be finished and posting about it in the not too distant future.

This is from the Feather and Fan pattern from Bernat. It came on the label of the yarn. I must say that I suspect the pattern has a glaring errors. This cloth is very small and would be of little use for dishes because of it. The picture on the Bernat label shows a wider cloth with more feather and fan sections. I was not impressed with this one. But it is working out well as a TV screen duster.
