Well, I've been in dishcloth crafting overdrive for the past few days. I took some time off from work, and I've been using the quick-finish satisfaction of the dishcloth to achieve some relaxation before going back to work. For some reason, I have discovered that I can crochet dishcloths a lot faster than I can knit them, so all but one of these cloths is crocheted rather than knitted.
When it comes to crocheting, however, all I can make is dishcloths. I just chain on stitches until it looks wide enough, start single crochet until it looks long enough, and then I start double crochet all the way around it for a border. For the little hanger loop, I stop on a corner and begin chaining on stitches. When it looks long enough, I connects the chain a few stitches away from where I began, and I single crochet back and forth along the outer edge until it looks right. I know this isn't a very good description of how to make these dishcloths, but I'm not very good at crocheting. However, if you want to learn more about crocheting,
there's a great website here.
I did manage to knit one dishcloth using a pattern from Ravelry. Here's my "Sandbars" dishcloth. I used the
Rachel's Mystery Dishcloth Knit Along pattern and some Peaches 'N Creme yarn in the "Yellow" and "Light Blue" colorways. I went to my local yarn store and purchased some more cotton yarn (Sugar 'N Creme this time!) to make lots more dishcloths. I'm working on one right now that it turning out to look like an Easter egg basket. More to come so stay tuned!
