Dishcloths of 2010 CAL.....

hhensler · August 8, 2010

I finished the knitted dishcloth that I was working on...I'm off to Michaels today to get yarn for the other two knitted ones that I need to make to complete my dishcloth sets. I also found some potholders that I would like to make...so many patterns, so little time...

Bought 8 skeins of sugar & cream stripes...can't wait to swing my hook into action :hook

Tam - That's another great pattern by Julee! You did a beautiful job.

Howdy gals! I hope you're all doing well. I haven't had any dishcloth time lately. I've had other pressing projects. Hopefully I can work on some soon though. :yes

I thought that it might help us decide better if we had a little poll to vote on:

I'm just excited no matter what we do hehe, it's always more fun to make washcloths for someone else

Is surprise swap the game you all just did?

Yes that is what we just did.

I've started another knitted dishcloth. I'm using a cable pattern for this one - I'll post a pic when I get it done.

hhensler · August 9, 2010

I realize this isn't a dishcloth, but I sort of think of it as a kitchen item...anyway, I have got to learn how to make one!

Hi Jennifer

Thanks for posting that poll to help us decide what thing to do next . That was a good idea !

Hope we can get started soon -

And Heather --good job on all the items you are completing. I have 2 kniited dishcloths started now- working on 2 at once, because O got some of the self-striping yarn and wanted to see how it'd come out .

I'm knitting a dishcloth...but its slow going!

Lilly Flower · August 10, 2010

I found I get knit a dishcloth in under 5 hours! That is a record for me. I am working on a bunch of dishcloths for christmas presents, will post a pic soon!

Now that's multi-tasking :lol How do you like the yarn?

My knitting is always slow going...plus, the cable pattern that I am working on is not working for a dishcloth. It's my fault - I tried to use a scarf pattern and turn it into a dishcloth, but it's going to end up rectangular...very rectangular, so I am either going to frog it or actually make a scarf - haven't decided.

5 hours!?!?! That is amazing...it takes me at least double that :blush

Wow, you are fast Lilly...it takes me that long to crochet one

JulieKay · August 10, 2010

Heather

I like the self-striping cotton. It's neat to see the design coming from it .

Lily- wow - 5 hours, you are speedy !

hhensler · August 10, 2010

Here's what my cabled dishcloth looks like so far - right now it's square, but once I complete the cable pattern rep, it will be a rectangle...do you think it would look bad to stop where I'm at with an incomplete pattern rep, and crochet a border? It goes against my nature to that...but I don't think I will be happy with a rectangle either. Maybe I will just frog it?!

TurtleLvr · August 10, 2010

Very pretty dishcloths everyone!! I wish I could knit, but we just don't get along.

:turtle :vheart

That's beautiful!!! You could just take out enough rows to get you to just past where your last cable cross over happened. That would make it about even. It really is a beautiful pattern and the yarn really compliments it.

Here's a pattern that only takes me an 1.5 hours or so to complete: Mitered Dish Cloth Pattern. I put a crocheted border on mine. If anyone wants to know how I put the loop in it feel free to pm me.

:sun .......... Good Morning kids..............

How are you all?

I'm doing okay... still struggling a bit with my neck... but one day at a time... right?!

We ordered a dumpster a few days ago and this weekend we started purging! We have one of my boys closet and the hall closet and the upstairs will be DONE. Then its onto the main floor for some serious tossing!!!

Yesterday a "Kitchen Swap" was posted here on the 'ville..... So I'm not sure if you kids still want to do something here in our little CAL. Let me know whatcha think.

Love the dishcloths Heather and Julee! Beautiful work!!!

:heart

Hi Julee

Thanks for the mitered square dishcloth pattern. I am going to give it a try too. It sounds easy,but we shall see. I'm pretty much a beginner level knitter,but this one sounds do-able .

It's very pretty .

Tam -

I'm up for whatever you choose to do .If you'd rather just let everyone sign up for the other swap (if they want to ), it's fine with me. But if you would like to have something else in here,that sounds good too .

Last time I checked the survey thing in here, the mystery swap was winning the race !

HOPE YOUR POOR NECK FEELS BETTER SOON .

Thanks for the tip Julee - btw: I really like the mitered dish cloth - and your pineapple parfait too...they are gorgeous!

I would try to join in if you still do something!

Hi Heather

Thanks for the pattern link .Love the one with the flowers !

And sorry, I forgot to mention how pretty your green cable one is. You are a much better knitter than me. I havent been brave enough to try cables yet .

hhensler · August 10, 2010

I didn't try cables for a long time, but then I checked out some tutorials on youtube and they are not as difficult as I had imagined - and if I can do them - you can do them too!

Here is another one I knitted with cables:
