Here's a dish towel that I was in the progress of working on (it has since been finished). I modified the Feather & Fan dishcloth pattern to be a dish towel. It turned out okay. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I would probably modify it again if I ever make it again.
For this towel, I used Peaches & Creme worsted weight in the Pink Lilacs ombre. It took about 1.5 two ounce skeins.
