I think I will add some of those to my list. Inlaws love to go out for coffee so maybe they would like a couple of them. ............ also use up some of left over yarn. ; ) Peggy I am knitting some washcloths & dishcloths too. I started making some scrubbies too ..... those are fairly quick & fun to make.... this is my first time making the scrubbies this past weekend. -- Edited on 9/28/11 4:20 PM -- ------ I am a gal from Kalamazoo.... oh what a gal... smile....

I love this cotton for washcloths as it is softer. I totally agree with you. Love that "I love this cotton" from Hobby Lobby but it is a bit pricer than sugar n creme so I try to save it for washcloths too. Here is a fun and easy washcloth/dishcloth knitting pattern Cast on 4 stitches (I use size 9 needles Row 1: knit Row 2: knit 2, y/o, knit across to end Repeat row 2 until you like the width 44-50 or so stitches on needle Row 3: Knit 1, knit 2 together, y/o, knit 2 together, knit to end of row. Repeat row three until you have four stitches on the needle then bind off. -- Edited on 9/28/11 9:35 PM --

Sounds really neat ...Thank You.... I have been using Garden Dishcloths & love it! It is a bit slower for me as have to look at patterns each row... but they are kinda cool looking when finished. ------ I am a gal from Kalamazoo.... oh what a gal... smile....

The " garter rib" pattern is pretty simple , however I have not used the double ended needles before and I keep dropping loops of the ends. I think I will have to go buy some thing to plug the ends. To bad I don't have a bunch of old corks...ha.. Anyway if and when I get some finished I will post pics. Happy to see you are still in the swing of it TGM :) ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

I hate trying to fix dropped stitches I prefer 7 inch length just for easier to keep on stitches. Some people also buy 8 inch length needles. Best wishes with the hats. ------ I am a gal from Kalamazoo.... oh what a gal... smile.... It is in Michigan... la la la ...love that Glen Miller classic!
