I like the longer size of your dishcloth. Good idea that I plan on using.
 

How long is the towel in inches? Did you just knit until you ran out of yarn?
 

how does it work as a dishtowel? Absorbent enough?

coooool idea!
 

thx for the comments! The towel is about 16 inches, and I have tons of yarn left. I got the Super size balls. It's extremely absorbent and really just a perfect towel.

I just started the dishcloth-cotton snake, but I'll post a pic when it looks like something!
 

I made a towel before, too, and have been using it for weeks. It's great! I've washed it a couple times, so it's already starting to acquire just a little bit of vintage-looking fade. It's soft, absorbent, and my husband loves it, too, on purely utilitarian grounds. Mine's much less consistent in color, though, and therefore less pretty! There's a picture on my blog: http://aastrikke.blogspot.com/2006/05/dishcloth-mania.html

Can't wait to see your snake!
