The Great Knit Cloth-along

[KRB]

Wow, kyreth, those are beautiful! I love them!

I have never seen that colorway for SnC before.  That is so great that the garter stitch one ended up pooling so perfectly.  I always love Darrel Waltrip.  It is one of my favorites.

I found this thread earlier this year, when I was pondering what to do with a big bag of cotton yarn a friends mother gave me.  I've really enjoyed having such a great collection of patterns to work thru!

There's more I don't have photos of, and some I'm still finishing, but I wanted to share what I've done so far this year.

Ribbons of Sunshine and Chinese Wave:


An I-don't-remember-what and Chinese Wave (backside)


Darrel Waltrip and Chinese Waves and home made lilac soap:


'Gumdrop' Yarn in alternating knit and purl squares:


Another Chinese Wave and Something-I-don't-remember:


Darrel Waltrip and.... (I have *got* to keep better records!)


Chinese Wave and a Flickering Flame that turned out much larger than I anticipated:


And, while it's not technically a washcloth I had to include it -- a Swiffer cloth made of the most eye-gashingly garish highlighter brite colors:


Thanks for this thread!

Oh what joy to see all those cloths.  Someone likes Chinese Waves.  I lean toward Darrel Waltrip myself.  All your cloths are incredibly beautiful.  Cloths are so addicting.

Just a tip! Herrschner's stocks all Sugar 'n Creme in all colors: http://www.herrschners.com/depts/id-1682.html I have to control myself so I don't buy them ALL.

I'm so happy to hear that someone else has been tempted to buy all of the SnC colors from Herschnerrs.  It's especially tempting this month because I recently received a catalog with a free shipping offer on the front.

Sadly, I can easily justify the purchase in my head as - everyone always needs cotton yarn, don't they?  And it's always nice to have the "right" color on hand.

I LOVE me some Chinese waves.
My favorite pattern to date for functionality.

I've done two more sets of cloths!   

The first set is made with green variegated and white.  I don't know what brand, because the yarn in my stash had no label.   

I made the dolphin with waves and a checkerboard.  They are both kind of rippled, but I kind of like them that way.  I suppose I should block them if I give them as gifts.


The next set are done with Lion Brand sagebrush and seaspray.  I started to do the bee stitch for the first one, but goofed (happily) and created a sort of ribbed pattern.  I caught on to the bee stitch for the second one, using the bee stitch border pattern.


I've started on a couple more, so I'll post 'em when I've got 'em!

Cheers!

Those are really nice.  I love the decorative edging you put around your cloths.  Maybe someday I'll learn how to do that.

[kyreth]

thanks!  It is a crocheted edge.  I sc all the way around first, then do a round with little shells or picots.
