This was a little extra gift for Carol as part of a Hooked on Exchanges exchange - the theme was 'By The Sea' and I thought the colours and texture were quite summery and seaside-y!
The first knitting I ever did - aged 4 - was making a garter stitch dishcloth. It was probably as holey as the one above, but I don't think the holes were deliberate! I was very proud of myself though :o) I'm so grateful I had a mum who taught me to knit, sew and embroider. She also encouraged my passion for books ... but sorry ma, I can't quite get so enthused about housekeeping or genealogy ;o)
Knitters out there - who taught you? How old were you?

Fantastic dish cloth. Never made one of these. Do you use cotton or wool for it? And are these really used for doing the dishes? I do love practical things and might give this a go.
I learned knitting in primary school. I would say somewhere at the age of 7 or 8 years old.
