If I didn't know better...(dish cloth)

[cajunwhacko]

If my mom hadn't said "omg" when she saw it... I would be going to the ER right now. Why? Because I just made a dishcloth. I know, no big deal, right?

 

 

I don't know what you have to do to be reincarnated as a dishcloth, but I think there was once a Scotsman who could tell us.

 

It just happened. The right pattern, the right variegated yarn... and I bet it wouldn't happen again in a million years. I might have to try again to find out though... and if it does, I think I'll need a cool drink and a lie-down.

 

Maybe it's actually a reincarnated sock and they'll come in pairs?

Wow that is just awesome, I thought you had run the colors in and out.

That is truly amazing. I've never seen one turn out like that!

 

Cheers!

That is amazing how it turned out!!! And you didn't plan it?? What yarn & size hook did you use?

[Katchkan]

That is pretty amazing. :eek I think I would buy a lottery ticket tonight if I were you.

With the way I've been feeling I'm lucky to be able to plan going to the bathroom... lol

 

I used plain old Peaches n Creme off the cone and an I hook.

WOW thats so cool !!!!!

[123mama]

I LOVE those colors and WOW...it's so cool when variageted yarn just "happens" like that, it's it? Neat-o

[kariholtz]

omg... that's kinda scary.... you HAVE to call that dishcloth Argyle!

 

 

I don't know if I would want to use it!

You know those pictures that show Jesus or crosses when they aren't suppose to? Would that be the Crocheters equivilent?

[crochet mama]

That is so great!

[Catana]

At first glance I thought you had put all that incredible work into a -- dishcloth? Wow! I had variagated yarn come out as a perfect triangle on a purse, but you hit the jackpot. I think I'd just frame it.

[diamond]

Think you could do it again using the same yarn, hook and number of stitches?

[Kazen]

I agree with Catana--that thing deserves a frame!

[boredelf]

That's awesome! I've had similar results with peaches n creme, but it seemed to me that each cloth I did the pattern came out different. But there was always a neat pattern!

[deneen]

How weird is that? I have to say, it looks great. Kari's right, get a lottery ticket!

[MiCountess]

That is just so neat - What pattern stitch did you use?

[crochetfun]

I must go out and get some of that yarn:)

[dhaunae]

I must go out and get some of that yarn:)

 

LOL! I was just thinking the exact same thing! Too funny how that turned out; what are the odds? I hope you did go out and buy that lotto ticket

[froggy]

Well, Isn't that the coolest! I think you need to try one more......

[crochetdiva]

That is hilarious!! :laughroll

[Me&P]

How cool!!!

 

My first "real" project was a baby blanket using varigated yarn for my surrogate baby who I was pregnant with. It came out looking like one of the embryos we transferred. Quite freaky.

[craftygirl]

That is so neat. You may want to send a pic of it to the yarn company - who knows they may want to use it or know more about what you did to get the pattern. I'll never look at using varigated yarn for a dishcloth the same way again

[Becks]

That is so cool!

 

If you were to try it again; even if you used the same hook, the same stitches, and the same tension as you had on this one; you'd still have to begin at the precise point in the variegated yarn that you began with here. And then there is the variable of the yarn being dyed the same with the colors blending exactly as they were here.

 

What the heck did I just say??!

[lovingmommy]

i agree that is a little scary!!! lolol. very nice, i guess my chances at winning the lotto are far greater than to make a dishcloth turn out like yours!!! wow!!!
