Dish Towel - Illusion Knitting

I have known this for a while but never know it's English name: Illusion knitting or shadow knitting, until Michele told me the name.

It is a magic thing to do. So fun to work on it!
Yarn: Lion brand 100% cotton, US 8/ 5.0mm needle.

Can not wait to show it:
this is the front when you look at it straightly. If nothing happened but only this I think it looks good, too.
When you start to move down or turn the work to an angle. MAGIC----- the pattern shows.2 fish!!! I love it. I designed the pattern myself. I will arrange it better and will post to my ravelry store.
