Clean-spiration
Now, I'm not a girl who particularly loves to clean, but I must admit that there's something strangely fun about wiping up something with a bright and cheery washcloth that you made exactly to your own taste.
Here are a few photos, the first ones picture my results when I actually followed the patterns in the book:
I decided I like the variegated yarn better, so I switched near the end of the ball-band.
For the second ball band, I staggered the pattern over 8 stitches rather than 5. I like the change, and it meant fewer slipped stitches overall, but I won't give up the original pattern entirely.
