Just a quick "project dump" post!
I made these in December actually... I wanted to work on a couple of quick-and-useful-and-pretty projects, (to supplement "the beast", aka my seafoam afghan, and my grannies.) And - I am of course completely obsessed with cotton yarn. And my kitchen.
So ta-da. Just a couple of dishcloths for your viewing pleasure! I did not follow a pattern for these, but they are certainly inspired by this lovely pattern, which I have used before.
For this one I used Lily's Sugar 'n Cream yarn in Country Stripes, which I had leftover from the rug I made for my sister.
What turned out to be so freaking cool is that the stripes came out almost perfectly even. Looks like I planned it, right? (I didn't, believe me.) If you want to try it - just start with 27 chains (I believe that was what I did).
Gotta love striping yarn!
And here's one with a ruffly edge, using Lion Brand Cotton Ease yarn in Seaspray. I had never used this yarn before, but I bought a skein 'cause I couldn't resist and of course had to start using it asap! It's really quite nice - very soft.
I'm actually not using this one for a dishcloth. I think it's too pretty to get all yucked up in the kitchen sink. I will probably save it for a gift or use it under hot plates at the table.
