So I have seen lots of fellow bloggers produce many dishcloths and thought I’d get round to it at some point. I had added making a selection to my YOP list for this year. Yesterday afternoon, whilst I was letting some sheep fleece soak in soapy water I thought I’d make ONE.
By midnight I’d made 5! What just happened? It’s like I fell down a dishcloth worm hole and have just emerged!
So here they are. The patterns are all free on Ravelry; Grandmother’s Favourite Dishcloth, Almost Lost Washcloth, Mini Almost Lost Washcloth and 2 x Waffle Dishcloths.
Luckily I am almost out of this cotton. They are in a Christmas yarn colour but suspect we will use them all year.
In other news, I totally messed up my maths on Such a Winter’s Day jumper and it needs to be frogged and I need to try other gauge swatches to see if I can work out the right size to make.
Oh those dishcloths can be quite addictive. Isn’t it nice to have new ones though?
Sorry to hear about the jumper. I am confident you will succeed the next time.

Wow! You got a lot done, and they all look great! It’s always nice to have a good supply. So sorry to hear about your sweater. It’s never fun when it happens, but it will turn out OK!

I agree… knitting dishcloths is quite addictive. Five in one day?!? I’m seriously impressed. I must be a terribly slow knitter. Glad to know you’ve caught the bug!

Dishcloths are on my try out list too. I have a few patterns downloaded but haven’t had the time to try them yet.

I want to knit a hoard of dishcloths! But I’m so picky about the pattern. My favorite is basketweave.

BTW I’m pretty sure “hoard of dishcloths” is the official term, like murder of crows and pride of lions.
