In which dishcloths are addictive

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).

Lacy zigzag dishcloth

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!

Excellent! I have to take a trip up to JoAnn tomorrow (I have a coupon!) for more yarn for this sweater. Apparently I severely underestimated the amount of yarn necessary for a full size sweater. Go figure. I might have to grab some sugar 'n cream while I'm there, to make some of these washrags. :)
