I stumbled upon a "lost" cloth I knitted a while back, sometime last year I think. I hadn't even weaved in the ends. So I just did that and then took these photos; the cloth hasn't been blocked yet. Sorry for the knife in the photo, I grabbed the nearest thing to hold down that side of the book open. I can see clearly that the Swish with a Twist pattern is based on this Jewel Cross Rib pattern with some alterations in the width/position of the square knit sections and in technique of execution, which makes it look neater for a square dishcloth. I must have knitted this back when I was getting into knitting dishcloths cuz it's made with that awful dark green yarn which I used for most of my early cloths because I bought a cone of the stuff. Newbie mistake. I should buy balls instead. A cone is way too much of any one color of yarn...

Here's the pseudo pattern for the Jewel Cross Rib pattern found in BW2 pg27, although I doubt anyone would want to work this pattern.
