Wine Cozy and another dish cloth

I finished a dish cloth and the wine cozy today. I'm not so happy with the wine cozy. I hate seaming and I sure messed it up. The "base" seems too small and doesn't sit right. (I only 'tinked' the rim about 6 times) Oh well, it was my first one. I think I'll use bigger needles next time. 4's just seem too small. (yeah yeah I didn't gauge, sue me) 5's might work better.
