Dishcloth Reloaded
I finally have made two successful round Mason Dixon dish cloths. I made a wonky crooked one awhile back with Sugar & Cream that I kept loosing count on that wasn't picture worthy. Then I tried to make one with the Cotton Chenile, but the yarn snapped. Then I tried Knit Picks Crayon, but it wasn't thick enough and I kept loosing count with the fuzzy texture. I wanted cloths for the bathroom, and I wanted them to be soft. So I finally used Cotton Tots.
The pictures are a bit dark, I took them last night in my excitement at completion.
I put round soaps inside. The colors are mint green and lilac with dark purple ribbons.
Thanks for looking. Amy

They are beautiful. I had trouble, too, with this pattern. Not sure why--except that you do have to keep track and pay attention a little. More than some other things. I'm pretty new to knitting, but should be able to "get" this one. Was your eventual success due mostly to using a particular yarn (Cotton Tots)? Or something else? I'll have to try again.
These...are adorable. I'll definitely have to make a go of these once my other colossal project is finished. Well done!
I love the colors that you used. They look so calming and peaceful! I haven't tried these yet, but after seeing yours I think that I might have to!
You've inspired me to try these. I make soaps for gifts every year and these washclothes would make great wrapping.
