[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knit stitches other than just purl plain rows?

[Lillie Pennington]

Hi  Valerie,
This may not be what be what you are looking for, but have you ever knitted a dishcloth? The pattern my old knitting instructor was teaching the class was starting with a small amount of stitches, increasing, and then knitting together to decrease stitches. Dishcloths are also small projects and are quick to finish. Let me know if you are interested in this particular pattern.
