When I found some beautiful organic cotton yarn on sale at Spotlight, I decided that dishcloths would be just the thing. It turned out to be a great way for me to try out some more elaborate knits patterns without having to unravel lots and lots if I made a mistake.
I started with the waffle knit dishcloth.
I then moved on to squares
Oh and there may have been a couple of other aborted attempts along the way...
The stitches are not the most even in the world, but they are more than adequate for this purpose!
I'm now trying a chevron pattern, but fear that:
a) I'll lose my way in the pattern
b) I'll run out of yarn before I finish it
I should mention that I found all of these free patterns with the help of ravelry

This is SUCH a great idea to build up knitting skills!! I'm such a timid knitter - too scared to take on any decent project for fear of stuffing it up.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely - a great way to try out new knitting stitches too :) I would like to try something similar with crochet . . . sometime :D
