In my last post I mentioned that I had been knitting some dishcloths. These are most of the cloths I've knit recently. Some are already in use and weren't clean for the photo shoot. All but the white ones will be gifts. Details are on Ravelry.
Here is one of my favorites:
This is the Playful Plaid Clothand it's a lot of fun to knit. The long slipped stitches you see were made by wrapping the needle twice. When I knit it the next time, I'll probably wrap the needle three times because the cloth was kind of puckery before I blocked it.
Right now I'm knitting a round dishcloth, which I haven't done before. It's a quick knit and I could have had it mostly done already, but I couldn't figure out where I was off and I reknitted a section at least three times. There are some really pretty cloths on Ravelry.
Look at your lovely cloths. They will brighten and bring a smile to any drawer they land in. I love mine, though none are as pretty as yours.

I want a stack like that for my kitchen. I'm doing a swap right now, and I'm going to cast on the fern cloth for my pal. I saw your link to that last week. I have a round one in my queue too. These are so fun because they're quick. Two of the green ones look like one from Anne (the bag lady and the pro). Am I right? I need to take some more photos. Thanks for sharing that stack.

I like that playful plaid one. I may have to whip one of those up in the next day or two.

I hope the recipients value the work and care you knitted into the washcloths. Pretty colors.

I love the look of a colorful stack of newly knitted dishcloths! I'd like to knit that Playful Plaid pattern, very pretty. :-) I've been on a dishcloth kick lately, too. It's the perfect knit when it's too hot for wool in my lap.

They are very pretty.

The stacked dishcloth photo is very artistic! Look at you with your photography! Great gift idea.

Love your colorful cloths. Thanks for the link on Ravelry. Maybe cloths are what I should be working on since I can't seem to get going on a larger project.

Gracious! You certainly have been knitting! I love those dishcloths. A nice bright dishcloth even inspires me to do a dish or two. Sometimes...

Just lovely Beth. Knitting and crocheting dishcloths and other small items can be so relaxing and so much fun!

You know, I think good old dish cloth knitting is what we all need from time to time. I always liked the Mason Dixon warsh rag, and your plaid one is so pretty, Beth! Have a great weekend!

I love the plaid one and the round pattern...I had a thought the other day of looking for a pinwheel cloth pattern.

Those are all so pretty!

Lovely dish cloths! It seems like such fun to knit them - I'll really have to give it a go one of these days...
I've also tagged you for a meme. :-)
