In which dishcloths are addictive

[untonuggan]

In particular, I am hooked on this particular pattern. Be forewarned that it does not include the garter stitch border in the pattern, so you should account for that. But if you make it 3 sts on either side, it will still fit within the given stitch count parameters.

I have knit three of the aforementioned dishcloth so far, two in a solid red and one in an ombre. I don't have a photo of the ombre yet, but I think it might be a bit busy so I recommend going with the solid. (Although it is kind of fun, but still, I prefer the solid).



Not blocked or anything, by the way, that's straight off the needles.

I've knit a bunch more dishcloths, small versions of which you can see here. They are for house guest gifts, mothers day, and now I'm making some for my sister's birthday. They are versatile things. Soon I shall make some for the new house. I love how fast you can knit them up, and the gratification of finishing them. I also love using them, they scrub so well!






If you are interested in what patterns I used, you can find them on my Ravelry page (same username as on dreamwidth).

True. Two summers ago, when I had just learned to knit, I was quite addicted to making dishcoths. I still have a drawerful, and I made quite a few for family members. Recently, one of my sisters hinted that she might like to have a few more, so maybe it's time to get back to that. :)

I know I had 2 full balls of multi- or striped cotton, but they're still hiding. I found a cone of white cotton I forgot I had. Maybe some face cloths? And a sack of small balls of cotton left-overs, in various colors. Maybe I should practice stripes or colorwork with those. *thinks of ideas* First, I want to finish some mittens I started last week, though.
