Muguets (lily) Dishcloth

I was inspired on Friday to make dishcloths. They are short, sweet, and a great opportunity to master simple lace patterns. This afternoon, we made a trip to Jo-Ann Fabric and found Lily Sugar'n Cream "New Super Size" on sale for 5/$10. Sweet deal. I bought 5 (and a Lindt truffle, yum).

I chose the Muguet pattern (You can't view it correctly in Firefox). I knitted through Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Without a Trace and Law & Order. Because I'm not comfortable knitting combination with lace, I forced myself to purl "correctly" while still knitting continental. It was slow going on the even rows! I am getting better at purling this way, but my stitches are a little looser than I'd like them to be. I have a ton of yarn left - I'm hoping to make a collection for my sister-in-law for Christmas.
