January Mid Month KAL

Hello all,

I finally finished my first dishcloth knit-along project. I'm a new member to Yahoo Groups Dishcloth (Knit-A-Long), called monthlydishcloths. This is a very enjoyable group. You do two knitalongs a month which are secret. Meaning you don't know what its gonna look like until done. Of the two KAL's, one is for learning a new stitch. This is the KAL that I was lucky enought to start with. The stitch I learned was T1R (Twist 1 Right)How you do the stitch is: "knit next 2 stitches together and leave stitches on the needle. Knit in first stitch (in between the 2 stitches), slipping both stitches off the needles." This was stated with our pattern. Please be kind about my knitting , it turned out nice but I could definatley use better tension. I had used a size 7 circular needle to do it. I have since gone out and purchased a size 6, 16inch, Crystal Palace needle. Hopefully, that will make my next dishcloth a little less loose. I have to say I really like my new needle. It seems to make my knitting a little faster and neater. I'm working on the February KAL at the moment and truly enjoying it. Posted by Picasa
