A Butterfly Washcloth

After shopping with Wendy on Friday for Ali & Amy's baby shower gifts, I really wanted to make Ali a Butterfly bib and wash cloth.  The bedding that she registered for had butterflies on it and was an adorable purple color.  So yesterday, I looked for a butterfly washcloth.  Not very hard, though.  I just looked 2 places.  Then I decided to do it myself. 

It took most of the day, but here is what we got.  I think it turned out pretty well!  This first picture is the charted picture.  This was the hard part!  (It would help if I could find knitting graph paper with larger squares!  My old eyes were getting tired very quickly!)

Then there was a test knit with no borders or anything.  Not sure if you can see the pattern very well.  I used some leftover white cotton. 

After a couple of adjustments, here is the finished Butterfly Washcloth!  :)  It is a nice soft green and ready to be put in Ali's gift bag.  O.k.... I'll weave in the ends if you insist!  ;)

Now, I am NOT artistically talented.  I think I can do basic drawings, though, as long as they don't have to be complicated.  (Stop laughing, Kira!)  However, I think this butterfly turned out very nice!  I'm pretty proud of it and will definitely keep the test piece.  This one is going to Ali, though, as I have too  many to turn out to hold one back.  ;)

I'm thinking tulip and basic flower next.  What do you think?
