ali-s Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have just finished another dishcloth Taken from this site www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/dishcloths.php The dishcloth shown has been copied from the website. Mine is knitted in white and is not photographing (is that a word?) very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Ooh, he's good! I think you should make them out of other wool and then make a blanket out of squares with cockerals making a chequerboard effect...it would look really good!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I didn't even know you could knit dishcloths . I think they're lovely and are far to good to get wet. I agree, make loads for a throw or bedcover . Or start knitting now and sell them to us for next Christmas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've drawer full in the kitchen I started making them when I picked up the knitting needles after 10 years of no knitting. They are made from dishcloth yarn and are so much better than shop bought ones, more scrubby without being scratchy if you know what I mean. I think they will last for ages but when they do wear out I can throw them on the compost heap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 One of my friends gave me some unbleached cotton to knit a dish cloth. At first I thought she was mad but they are sooo lovely to use. I'll definately be knitting a cockeral cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
