Ballband Dishcloth

Finally, a dishcloth that is not knit in the Grandmother's Favorite pattern. Are you surprised? I've been wanting to make this pattern for a long time and finally got around to it. It is so simple and really fun (I think I'm beginning to enjoy knitting with two colors). I will definitely be making a few more of these, when I'm not busy working on other projects.I slipped the last two stitches to create this really nice looking edges. I actually made a slightly smaller version than what the pattern states. I followed a pattern found on Raverly (here), but if you are not on Raverly, than this is what I did.

Cast on 37 stitches with Color A (when asked to slip stitch, do so purlwise).
