Pinned It, Made it!

I stumbled across a party that features things that you pinned and then made.  I thought that was a wonderful idea!  

My entry is one that I have been making for the past year - Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth.  I love knitting these dishcloths because they are quick and easy - a perfect craft for watching TV, sitting at the doctor's office, riding in the car, waiting on the boys, etc.... 

I also love to wash dishes with these.  They are divine to use as dishcloths!  Once you have used these to wash dishes, everything else does not compare.

I like to give these away to people.  They can be used as dishcloths, washcloths, potholders, spa cloths, etc...  They are very versatile.

The picture above was what I gave my boys' school teachers the last day of school last year. 

Here's the original Pinterest, along with the instructions:

Knitted Dishcloths

I'm taking a break from knitting scarves to knit some dishcloths.  I have noticed lovely craft rooms in blog land.  This is mine - a TV tray table!  I don't have a designated craft room and it hasn't slowed me down one bit.  (Not that I don't envy drool over all those beautiful craft rooms that I see!)  See my Tervis glass waiting for yet another glass of tea?  I can't knit without drinking tea!  Of course, my lack of room for crafting has nothing to do with this post.  Just thought I would throw it out there! 

This particular pattern is called Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth.  You can find the pattern here.  I love using cotton dishcloths and have given many away over the years.  Once you start using these, it's hard to use anything else.  The variegated and dark green yarn is Peruvian cotton.  It's addictive once you put it in your hands and start knitting.
