Frankenstein's Monster Dishcloth

This dishcloth, designed by Brileyknits, first caught my eye because it was called "Frankenstein's Monster." As an English teacher, I witness many folks refering, incorrectly, to the monster as Frankenstein. In Mary Shelley's novel, the monster is (sadly) never given a name by his creator. 

Anyhoo, I made this cloth for my Secret Pal at work who is another English teacher, so I thought she might like it.

It worked up quickly. I did block it and play with it pattern while it was damp to get the stitches to pop.

This item was the first one that I ever blocked. I have been trying to avoid that process as long as possible; it sounded so scary to me. DIY's Knitty Gritty inspired me to try blocking, and I must admit that working with this project when it was damp really added to the final product.

I used Lily Sugar and Cream in Hot Green.
