Okay so I went a little crazy knitting dishcloths a couple weeks ago and I think its time I show them off so here they are. I started knitting about 10 years ago and just last month was the first time I knit a dishcloth. I know people have mix feelings about them. Some people don't like knitting them for whatever reason while others like them because they can try out new patterns without doing a big project. That's the reason I decided to start making them and once I started I kind of couldn't stop. Most of these are made with really simple patterns but all except for two I had never done before. So I had fun making them and thinking of future projects I would like to make using the patterns. All of the patterns are from the book 400 Knitting Stitches by Potter Craft unless otherwise noted and I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. I bought the 14oz ball so so its enough to try out tons of new patterns!

Thank you!
DeleteYou did go a bit crazy, but I like all of them too. I've never seen that seersucker stitch before - I'm going to go look that one up and make one for myself!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites! I'm thinking of another project where I can use it again.
DeleteThat's a really cool idea! I need to get hold of a knitting book and try something similar myself :)

DeleteI like the idea of using a dishcloth to try out stitch patterns... kind of like swatching, but has more of a purpose. :-)
ReplyDeleteExactly that's what convinced me to start making them. :)
DeleteThese are gorgeous! I just started knitting and I'm planning to try making some dishcloths. I love all the different patterns you've made!
