The Little Suzy Homemaker Dishcloth

As you know, I've been struggling to learn to knit over the last year or so.  Needless to say, I would have never made it (or have started at all!) without the help of my very patient mother, who has picked out my mistakes upteen times, and assurred me that I someday, indeed, it would click.  Thanks, Mom!

While I'm still afraid of non-square projects (read - sweaters!), I have reached the point where I am very, very comfortable with simple knit/purl patterns.  So comfortable, in fact, that I've decided to write a few dish cloth patterns on my own!  I'm not vain enough to put any restrictions on it....please feel free to reproduce as you will. 

My first design is of a little apron, or dress, depending on how you want to think of it.  I hope you enjoy it!
