Finally I finished it. Not happy with the mess on the sides where the colors change but since it’s my first one I’m not complaining (much).
It’s beautiful! Love the colors! It’s a dishcloth so the doesn’t really matter, but it’s good to practice so you’ll have a method you’re happy with. 
The colors are great! And I don’t/ can’t see the “mess” on the side that you mentioned. I’ll take your word for it that it’s there. 
Your cloth looks perfectly fine to me.
Be kind to yourself as you learn, and remember that we’re all always learning! Good job!
Thanks ladies. I need to ask Artlady about how she does the edges again. She explained it once but I didn’t do it so well. Lol. This cloth took me about 5 tries, so I’m just really happy it’s done. Once it “clicked” (the pattern), I breezed right through it.
Done is always a good thing! I feel you with the 5 tries, I just did similiar on a stitch pattern that I “shouldn’t have thought twice about.” 
I just love it when I get too big for my britches. 
But I started it not once, nor twice, but thrice.
ArtLady is who I want to grow up to be as a knitter!
Oh, me too!!!
That’s really nice, Janis. You are so adventurous! I only tried knitting with two colors once and gave up. What did you find to be the most challenging?
Very nicely done! Your edges look fine to me, too. These things take practice. Please accept a virtual pat on the back for a job well done.
Very pretty! I made a couple of these when I first began knitting, and the last one only recently tore up. Talk about a durable pattern!!!
Thanks, Claire! The most challenging thing was keeping the yarn from tangling. And joining the yarn, but I haven’t done very much of that!
Thank you, GG. I just think the edges with the yarn carrying could look better! I’m gonna try another one soon.
That’s great to know! Thank you!
Very beautiful! My mom knitted a sweater with this pattern several years ago. Well done!
Thanks, Sandy!!
Very nicely done! I know what you mean about the mess at the edges from carrying the yarn but I can’t see it here. It helps to catch the yarn every other row but the line of carried yarn is still going to be there. This slip-stitch pattern is a neat way to do two-color knitting, isn’t it?
Thank you salmonmac! I’ll try your tip about catching the yarn, I think I understand. Lol. I loved this pattern once I got the hang of it!
Oh what a nice ballband dishcloth! I like that you used a variegated for the “bricks” and a solid for the “mortar”!
Ah, don’t feel bad about the edges. Mine turn out sorta wonky, too! I don’t worry about it one bit. There’s no remedy for it, so why worry?
I think your edges look positively fine!
Thanks ArtLady!!
That turned out great, and I love the colors. I haven’t tried that one yet, but I will!
Thanks, Jinx. Not hard once I wrapped my head around it.
