OK, I needed a break from the butterfly wings so I whipped these up.

The pink washcloth is a smaller variation of a dishcloth pattern from Knitting Made Easy, a booklet put out by Best Recipes. For the purple I started another dishcloth pattern from that booklet but several rows in realized it wasn’t going to work out because I was making it smaller. Since I didn’t want to frog it and cast on again and inspired by Knits by Rachel (who has some cute designs both free and for sale) I chose a heart and just experimented and until it looked the way I wanted it to.

I’ve noticed that they tend to shrink lengthwise if not left to dry flat which obviously isn’t convenient so I think in future I will knit them “taller” so they shrink to squares.
