A `lil help?

[flash17101]

I`m a male knitter (Not above 18, Dude, You seriously tryin` me?), And I`m not experienced, Could I have some help? I really like knitting and wanna try to make a washcloth, But I just want to know if I should knit it wide of long! I dont know HOW to do wide, I`ll have to ask my sister, And I`m a little more comfortable knitting a big, Long cloth, The thing is, I want to make a HUGE washcloth, Like half a blanket long, I just need some help deciding.

Unfortunately, The computer didnt come up with good helping results
