do you know what this is???

[AuntDebbie]

as you can see it doesn't lay flat and it has a little loop in the center hole- almost as if it was made to hang it- do you know what it is? or what it is to be used as? Here is another picture:

this is in the hanging position from the loop at top.

thanks for the help.

I would think it is a cosy

[AuntDebbie]

do you mean a tea cozy- to go over a tea pot??

thanks!

Wonder if it had been intended for a food cover (to fit over a metal folding frame) - but done with yarn/hook too big.

I think it is a dishcloth, oddly enough. I have a book with one similar in it, and it's called the French dishcloth I think (don't quote me on the name, since I don't have it with me, I'm not sure) But it was a dishcloth; and you have it hanging the right way. Tina

Weave a cord through the corners and once through each side and you could have this: (it's made from a square)

p.s. Where did it come from? I'm assuming you didn't make it or you'd know what it was:lol

[mythunderbird]

It is a dishcloth and after using is hung to dry.

looks like a Fox Network show: When Good Doilies Go Bad, Part 2

 

jk.... I think the dishcloth sounds reasonable, though looks kinda open in the stitch... might be good as some sort of kitchen appliance cover, or the tea cozy sounds good... it is s pretty thing

I think it may be a toaster cover

Why would you want to cover your toaster?

Looks like a dishcloth to me as well. The open weave would let it dry quicker when hanging.

Dishcloth-my granny had some like that with a plstic ring in it,she would dry them on the corner of the stove then hang them from a hook over the sink.

Definitely a dish cloth. My 93 year old aunt who recently died, made and used them all the time.

I have to totally agree with the Dishcloth brigade.

They are great to use and each day, they can go in either the washing machine or dishwasher so they do not harbour bugs.

Great for wiping down benches etc.

Of course, there are no Crochet Police so you can actually use it for whatever you like, maybe even a nightcap.

Have fun.

I could use it for a dishcloth and to hang it to dry would be great? I also think it could be whatever you want to use it for. Aren't crafty individuals always find a new use for everything anyways:yay

Looks to me like a lamp shade cover gone bad.... Who made it and where did it come from??

[AuntDebbie]

I found it at a thrift store. This thread has gone wild.. I had fun going through everyone's replies.. thanks!

[123mama]

It really is a dish cloth, I have a pattern for it and one almost made.

Debbie, you're on to something, here! You know those "provide a caption for this photo" competitions? And folks come up with the funniest one-liners?

 

Well, how about a thread/forum for "Name this mystery object of the (month, day, week, whatever)" and see what our cracked, uhhh..., *creative* minds come up with? Who knows, maybe we'll discover the next great use for the whatever-it-turns-out-to-be.... .

 

I'd offer to start such a thread, except I'm woefully short of finished objects... (not to mention, camera-less at the moment) - Oh, wait! I could compete in the UFO mystery game ("what is this object supposed to be when it is finished?")....

How is it that I am just finding this thread. It's cracking me up! :lol
