Washcloth for dad.


Yesterday I knitted a washcloth as part of my dad's fathers' day gift. Mum picked his gifts and cards up today, so tomorrow I'll give him a call and see what he thinks.

Got the pattern from here, used 4mm needles and James C Brett's Kool Kotton in Putty.

Just hope he likes it.

Washcloths a-go-go


Yup, gone and done another one. This time a 'M' cloth for my youngest daughter Mary.

I'm quite impressed, from one 50g ball of yarn I've managed to get three cloths. Considering the yarn wasn't expensive but is perfect for cloths, it's more economical to make them then buy them.

knitting Gratification


I've made another washcloth, they are so quick and easy very pleasing for the knitting soul.

This one's a 'H' for my eldest daughter Hayley. I'm going to make everybody one then there (hopefully) will be no arguing between the girls about using the others 'stuff'!

I used the same yarn as last time, Kool Kotton in the colour 'Putty' (KK9). the pattern is by Rhonda K. White and can be found here.

Washcloth


I've never seen the attraction of knitting washcloths, until now LOL. Yesterday I knitted my first washcloth, it's for my friend who I also made the shawl for. We're both into Stargate SG1, so I used a Stargate dishcloth pattern that I found on Ravelry.

I used James C Brett Kool Kotton, it's a yarn I've never used before but will definitely be using again as it was a pleasure to knit with. Feels soft but strong to the touch and is a good yarn for washcloths, I think.

The cloth knitted up real fast, just a couple of hours.
