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 quickly. Do you think with this yarn th...

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 for me. Row 9: Using B, (k1, slip 1) twice, *k5, (slip 1, k1) twice, slip 1; repeat from * until 4 st...

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:

log cabin dishcloths Log Cabin Dishclothing over here.

I’ve been knitting 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😄

My partner has asked me to teach him to knit, and I’m working on choosing some beginning patterns for him. He would like to make the Wine Country pattern seen here for his sister: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/wine-country.html Expression Fiber Arts, Inc. https://www.expressionfibe...

Back in the day, after Peaches and Creme (the real Elmore-Pisgah version) was discontinued, I stocked up. Like, huge Rubbermaid tub 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?

The first thing I ever knitted was huge cream colored scarf while I was in Argentina as a foreign exchange student in Argentina. I finally finished a blanket a few years later as a Christmas gift for my then new husband. I put knitting down for years and picked it up just a few years ago. I forgo...

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 knitting.

@pdxknitterati and @leahdl Welcome to the party! I can’t believe how much fun I’m having. Michelle, there’s no need for payback by the way but I’m so glad you’re here. I ended up giving my hat to one of my coworkers. He modeled for me when I took pictures and it looked so good on him that it seem...

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

I had Very Firmly decided not to knit Christmas presents this year. The year of 26 knitted gifts was insane. Besides, I have a new baby to look after so not much time to knit. But obviously I can’t give store-bought gifts. I decided to make a few different varieties of biscotti and give a selecti...

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 brand logos. As of today there were only five left, but luckily ...

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 the pressie is a generous handful of nice choccies, then all wrapped up in col...

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.

So funny, I’m kind of numerological too, and prefer odd numbers and especially ESPECIALLY multiples of 3. I’m sure you wonder: 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 di...
