It was a very busy week so I only finished 3 dishcloths. Two of them I finished yesterday. One is another double stranded diagonal knit cloth. This one is small because I finished two balls of yarn. Still it’s large enough to be functional. The other is a pattern I made up as I was… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day-This week’s dishcloths

I finished another rectagular, double strand cloth tonight. It’s smaller than the others because I used the rest of two balls of yarn that I had used for other dishcloths. I’m trying to start another as soon as I finish one. The size 11 needles were empty so I picked two partial balls of yellow… Continue reading Finish another & Changing Patterns

I made 3 of these four by four block patterned squares. I think these may turn into a blanket if I make enough of them. They are 10 inch squares and I’ll need at least 24 to make a blanket. I’m thinking I could also add some plain garter stitch squares in between the 4… Continue reading This Week’s Total Dishcloths

I finished knitting the fourth dishcloth this afternoon. Here’s a photo. The color combination is interesting. This is one strand of a dark brown with one strand of a turquoise and blue variegated. I’m using the yarns I like the least first. I think I’ll make a few more of this style as it uses… Continue reading Finished four Dishcloths

Remember, I’m only using what I already have so I’ve come up with several interesting color combinations. Today’s, rectangular cloth is knit… Continue reading Double Strand Knitting with Variegated & A Solid

Then start the decreases until your back to 3 stitches. I am making these rectangular right now. I’ve started with the variegated yarns that I… Continue reading Dishcloths Knitted So Far

I thought I’d take a few minutes to explain why I’ve decided to make all these dishcloths. I moved into a new home about 3 years ago and finally have a real studio for all my knitting and sewing supplies and equipment. It’s a wonderful, big room. When I set it up, I was determined… Continue reading How this Yarn Adventure Began

Here it is. My first blog. About a week ago, I decided it was time to use up all the worsted weight cotton yarn that I’ve accumulated. I really have a lot. So I determined that this year, I would put aside my other knitting and sewing projects and knit all this cotton into dishcloths.… Continue reading My 100 Dishcloth Challenge
