WEEK 6

Ok so I am almost caught up with the dishcloth event. 52 patterns for the year. If you did the math, that is one per week. I got behind because my daughter was in a national pageant as Miss Texas and my brother died yadda yadda. This is week 6 called Grandma's favorite dishcloth or on the net it is also known as the Idiot dishcloth. If you knit, and are a beginner you should try this one. It will help with increases and decreases. Here is the PATTERN. Give it a go. This makes great shower gifts for brides or babies or as housewarming gifts. Let me know how it goes!!!

This is my attempt at week 5. Is it called cupcakes. You can see the cake and the frosting if you look real hard...LOL So far, this pattern was my least favorite. It has nothing to do with the pattern just me and my attention span vs the pattern. It was fun watching it develop so give it a try if you enjoy the hook. Here is the PATTERN. You may love it!!

WEEK 4 of dishcloths Cherry Pie

This is my attempt at week 4, the first knitted cloth. It was not my first attempt at knitting or short rows (I have knitted several socks) but it was my first attempt at a pattern like this. I learned a lot about turning on short rows. I also remember that I should keep better track of where I am in the pattern. OH and here is the PATTERN. Give it a try. Oh and when you are on the Last "PIE" section, bind off where it tells you too. I messed up but was too tired to frog anything else!! I frogged this one 3 times and backed up 2 other times.

Week 3 Tulip Stitch

This is my attempt at the week 3 dishcloth. Yes I am behind, but I am getting caught up! This was not made from normal kitchen cotton but Red Heart Eco-Cotton blend made from 75% recycled materials. HERE is a link to the pattern. Give it a try. it is very easy! Using the yarn I used, it came out longer than a dishcloth. I kept going because I am going to use it on the top of the tank for the toilet. ENJOY!!

This is my week 2 of 52 Weeks of dishcloths. I made a lot of mistakes but I learned from them then twisted things around to make this one unique. Fun!!!
This is my attempt at week one of 52 Weeks of Dishcloths. I honestly forgot I was doing this. WHAT is wrong with me??? HERE is where you can find the pattern. This would also make a great blanket.

52 weeks of dishcloths is a challenge to my head and I am thinking I will join in. I love the scrubbiness of the first cloth. Very basic if you want to try to make it!!! What color should I use??? Let me dig in my stash!!!

52 weeks of dishcloths

Have fun!!!
