Dishcloth Tuesdays~2009 CAL

Gardener · October 20, 2009

I have been AWOL for a few weeks but I have a pic to post so here I am.

Great dishcloths Nicole and Tam! The basket weave one is really cool. I thought of doing that in crochet, but the stitches are all around-the-post which I think would make the cloth too thick to use. Hmm, maybe I'll try it with that thin aqua cotton that has given me trouble with other stitches....

Anyway, here is a snowflake dishcloth using a pattern (#96) from 101 Crochet Squares. It has been a WIM for a while.

It's 7-1/4" x 7-1/4", the size my sister prefers.

See you next week.

Your dishcloth is gorgeous too. I have that square pattern book, but it never occured to me to make any of them into dishcloths.

Why, thank you! :blush

Most dishcloth patterns are much bigger than ~7"x7", so it is understandable that you wouldn't consider them for that use. Of course, one could keep adding rounds until the desired size is reached. I have done the opposite with patterns for 12" squares. I just go to ~7" and stop on whatever round that is.

What sizes are you all making your cloths? :think

Mine are usually on the smaller size for decorative dishcloths. The one's I actually use are larger...I like to be able to hide all of my hand.

I did one - finally - for dishcloth tuesday!!! My camera is not uploading correctly, so no pic, but its the star shaped dishcloth thats on CPC. I had it gifted to me in a swap, and loved it, so i found a pattern for it and made another one. I used a smaller hook so the stitches were tighter and thicker, like the one gifted. Its the perfect size for putting under bowls and smaller plates that are hot. The one i made is in an ombre of purples, hunter and sage green - countryside by sugar & cream. turned out really pretty.

I started a knit dishcloth on Tuesday. I am an extremely slow knitter, so it will probably be a few Tuesdays before its finished!

It's this pattern

Gardener · October 27, 2009

Here is my dishcloth so far. Its not the best picture but after a dozen tries I gave up.

I ran out of yarn, so I won't be able to finish it until I get to a store that sells this yarn..

I really like that stitch! I found it first when you provided it back on Page 5 (#45), I did my second posted dishcloth with that pattern on page 53 (#528). Later I saw it on Ravelry, and recently I found it in 200 Crochet Blocks (named "Tiny Texture"). I'm thinking of doing another one soon.

Quite nice "so far", Cindy! Doesn't look like you have that far to go. Those knitted picture ones are just sooo cool!

I picked up some bits and pieces of cotton yarn from an arts and crafts resale shop (for the benefit of local schools - scrapaction.org). Here is one I did pretty quickly since it is just a solid granny. Until I examined the pic, I didn't realize when I bordered it with some white I had, that the color in the yarn was off-white. Oh, well. I am not going to redo it 'cause I don't have any off-white in my stash. I guess I should have blocked it, too; that right hand side is rather funky.

Tam, How cool is that! You knitters are just so crafty! It's a mystery to me. I'm in the dark when it comes to that art.

Okay, Here's mine for today, clearly illustrating my inability to crochet in rows. I am pleased with my increasing ability with foundation single crochet, though.

The pattern is from 200 Crochet Squares, #62, "Edged Square." That book is such a rip. This square occurs at least eight times, just in different colors, and they count it each time. That in mind, mine could be #201. Sometime I will have to go through it and see exactly how many different square patterns there actually are.

Sorry about the color combination, I was desperate to rid myself of that orange. I usually don't look free yarn in the mouth, but I shouldn't have taken that one. Everyone else got the good colors.

Oh, Tam! This is just so neat! :clap

I think I could figure it out from your pic, but if there is a free pattern out there, could you send me in that direction, please?

And thank you and Nicole for the compliments.
