Has anyone knit a ball band dishcloth using US#6 needles, rather than #7 ? How did it work out?

I have some Debbie Bliss Amalfi yarn (70% cotton, 15% viscose, 10% linen, 5% silk). If I use it for dishcloths will the silk be a problem?? I am tired of using Sugar 'n Cream and having the colors fade. Plus want lighter weight dishcloths that will dry more q...

I’ve started Kay Gardiner’s Linoleum Dishcloth (found on Ravelry) and have had a few silly questions, but now I’m asking about Row 9 which repeats on Row 21. Is there any error? It doesn’t add up...

As I’m knitting a ball band dishcloth, the bottom row is very wavy. Will it lie flat off my knitting needles at the end? :slightly_frowning_face:

...blocks but as usual, not following the “rules” :wink: Just received Field Guide No 4, Log Cabin, so thought I’d do some of those and throw in some BB dishcloths just for fun😄

...using only knit stitches and avoiding lace for now, but at the same time I want it to be exciting and engaging for him. Should he just make a simple dishcloth with a nice selvedge perhaps? Any thoughts? One hurdle I’ve been facing as well is that he is vegan and would thus prefer to avoid animal fibers: no...

...stocked up. My cotton stash is starting to dwindle, and I am especially starting to run out of neutral colors like white. What is your current go-to dishcloth cotton?

...for years and picked it up just a few years ago. I forgot how much I love it, but oh… how much I am still a beginner! One of my first projects was a dishcloth Mason Dixon knitting. Loved them! I still knit, a lot of baby blankets as shower gifts and a few forays into special projects to try to learn things....

A ball band dishcloth in what turned out to be Texas A & M maroon. Whoop!

I’m into mixing colors in dishcloths. Never fails to cheer me up. Even if the color combo is off, who cares? It is a dishcloth and the coffe grounds will soon destroy it, but onto new k...

...t this afternoon. I’ve left my first square at home because the thought of holding wool without hair conditioning gives me the shivers. I’ve got some dishcloth cotton in my bag to keep me busy. At least we’ll be right on the river so there should be a breeze.

Not gonna lie. This Ballband dishcloth is my gift to me and it is making me very merry. image

...different varieties of biscotti and give a selection to each sibling and spouse, along with local tea and coffee. Then I thought, surely I could knit dishclothes too! So I’ve finished one and started the second Mason Dixon dishcloth from the first book. Most of my siblings are into cooking, except for one. S...

Kay once mentioned trying Euroflax for ballband dishcloths. Did you ever try that, Kay? I love my Zooey from Juniper Moons Farm, but the mini-skeins would be a great size for multicolored dishcloths.

Bit hard to tell from the picture - but each of these gift bags has a knitted dishcloth and choccies within. I was quite proud of how the pile looked. Most of the bags were recycled - so adorned with Christmassy stickers to cover up bran...

Excellent idea for that extra motivation to turn my pile of dishcloth cotton into dishcloths. Need about 30 for my sister to have as part of her Chrissie gifts for her carers and home visiting nurses. The other part of...

Alison - Thank-you! As for the warp - It is going to be dishcloths. I adapted them from Random Exchange Towels in the Sept/Oct 21 edition of Handwoven.

...my favorite number is 18. I use 18 and its factors (3, 6 and 9, but never 2!) whenever I’m designing something on the fly like a log cabin blanket or dishcloth, but it didn’t even occur to me to alter someone else’s pattern to give me my “good” numbers. It seems kind of superstitious, honestly! These numbers...
