Two small items recently finished

Here are a couple of items I recently finished.  Some of you may remember the bookmark I was working on.  It was a stitch found in Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet.  I liked it, but wanted to see what it looked like worked up.  Ok, so her picture was definitely lovelier - it had to be!  It was going in a book!   I didn't block this well at all, but this is how it turned out.  I need to fine tune it as a bookmark...  The stitch is lovely however.

Here is a simple dishcloth I worked up.  The pattern was super easy and quick. It's called My Favorite Dish Cloth, and I think this is now also my favorite dishcloth!
