Flamingo dishcloth

Today i have finally got some knitting time in today and what i started working on was the flamingo dishcloth my friend had requested, the pattern is available here. What i decided to do was use a US size 8 (5.0mm) needle instead of the US size 7 the pattern called for. Im not using the typical sugar and cream yarn one would usually use for a dishcloth/washcloth, but this isn't your typical dishcloth/washcloth it will most likely be used for decoration by my friend because she never used the pokeball one i made her from what i know, but hey maybe someday she will. Moving on...im using a light pink soft yarn i unfortunately do not know the brand or color name, because i took the wrap off some time ago for another project and i scrapped the project because of an untimely event. I am on row 20 of a 61 row pattern, i hate to say that right now im not super impressed with the pattern i know im only on the leg part of the flamingo but it doesnt look quite right, it could be because im using a softer yarn and a bigger needle but only time will tell with this pattern so i hope it looks better, after making this pattern with my current yarn i will knit it in sugar and cream yarn attached is a picture of my current progress
