My knitting instructor suggested that when working with 100% cotton, it might go a bit easier with metal knitting needles. I used wooden, thinking it would give me better control. What it seemed to do was just hold on tight to the wood and have very little give. So next dishcloth (which I think I'll start today), I will use metal needles. Here is the 'square' dishcloth:
