It's been some mindless action, knitting dish cloths.
I started out with just one,
but I found the knitting very therapeutic, so I made another, then another, until.......
Today's Promise: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. |

Ha~ need, have or want?
I am with you I have always crochet (so it seems) and a few years ago I started the knitted dish cloths...just can't stop & yes it's therapy! Smile...
I find it relaxing & clicking away, what is so nice you complete them fairly quickly! I also have started making them and going larger for a small towel for a lil-gift! Fun & everyone loves them!

Dish cloths make wonderful gifts! You can also make "spa cloths" and wrap them around a bar of special soap tied with a ribbon for a nice gift!
I am also finding therapy in the knitting. My mom passed away the end of April and since then I can't seem to stay in my sewing room. I still need to keep my hands and mind busy so I have been making dishcloths, face washing pads (mini washcloths) and scrubbies. I have enough to stock a small store. I know what all the girls in the family will be getting for birthdays and Christmas.
My second "Mom" knits those for me and they are the best! I don't knit but I do some crochet. Have not tried one of the crocheted ones yet. I did some pot holders and am trying to make some rugs.
My needles of choice are crochet, but I too have been making washcloths! Baby versions. :)
I've lost your email, but I did want to say thanks for swapping buttons with me the past three months! I'm working on redoing the sponsor spots on my blog so sadly I have to take yours down, but hopefully we can swap again in the future! :)

these look great! I love this pattern too
If I knew how to.. I would make lots of these lovely cloths!
Socks -- the fourth pair since that pooling sock yarn challenge convinced me that I wanted to start knitting them again. But I think I'm getting tired of the k2p2ribbing. I need to start a pair with lace or cables or *something* exciting!
I knit a little and would love to have an easy pattern for the dish cloth. Is the pattern on line?

I sew, crochet, cross stitch and quilt but I've never learned out to knit. It's hard being a left hander. I've never found anyone to teach me. Now that I'm retired, maybe I'll give it a try. I'd love to have a few dish cloths like yours! Very nice!
Years ago I made tons and tons of those. I don't think you can actually have enough...because they make great gifts for visitors too.

I agree once you start you just cannot stop! Very fun!
Your dish cloths are so pretty. I love the striped colors. If you get too many, you can glady send me a couple. I am using one that was given to me as a gift at least 4 or 5 years ago and it's starting to look pretty ragged!! ha. I don't let anyone else see it I'm so embrassed. ha Maybe I'll learn how to do it too. Thanks much.
