Knitted dishcloths...
They're a pretty new thing to me but I need to practise my knitting - I've discovered I haven't forgotten how to knit a basic square even though it's been years since I last tried (and gave up when I became frustrated).
I made this one with wool but later got some tips courtesy of D from Sew Funky and Sarah of Unido Baby Slings that cotton and bamboo work so much better! Masco's Wool Shop have temporarily leased a shop in our local shopping mall (where I usually do the groceries) so I will have to have another browse in there. I had a look earlier this week but they were still bringing products in. One day I may pluck up the courage to attempt one of the many dishcloth tutorials online.
I found some patterns for knitted dish cloths recently. I haven't made any yet but definitely want to give them a go. This blog www.krisknits.blogspot.com has some free designs and a link to other patterns to buy.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally addicted to dishcloths and YES Bamboo and Cotton is the best mix!
ReplyDeleteThis is the pattern I use http://www.lakebreeze.org/knitting.htm
I have photos on my blog of the ones I've knitted.
Have fun and enjoy

Love the binding - I'm a sucker for polka dots.
