Dishcloth KAL/CAL

Oh my!, such a decision (just teasing) they are all lovely. I would just start with the first and make them all!! one at a time in sequence! but that is me

I've been thinking the same thing, so I have all those patterns enlarged and sitting on my music stand by the knit/crochet chair in my living room. Music stands are PERFECT for holding patterns!

You can sometimes find them in thrift stores, or on eBay.

Well I finished my second CAL motifs and I still cannot knit so I did make the fourth dishcloth in that book. I don't like the others as cloths cuz they are more decorative than useful in my opinion. I want something that will catch and hold the counter top stuff when I wipe it, or cover my hand when scrubbing dishes. I don't want my fingers going through. They may be pretty, but I want and prefer to give useful.
I did have to remove my last row, photo below, I skipped the whole 'crochet then miss' step and had to stop to figure out why it was all bunchy. I can usually get a cloth finished in about an hour, this one took two.

Oh, I love that! So pretty!

Thank you!
We had a cable outage here today, so I worked on my CAL 5's, got 4 finished then I was afraid my brain would melt from the sheer boredom of it so I took a break and made the Primrose Dishcloth from Bright Ideas.

It didn't even take me an hour. I did run out of the deep purple a tidge early, but you can hardly see my mistake. I also used Scrubby in the very centre and matching cotton on the outer.
I absolutely love how for about a dollar and an hour you can create something so completely useful!
Terrific progress everyone! Keep your photos coming!

I really like that Primrose cloth. And that was smart to use the Scrubby yarn in the center.

Nice! It just really brightens up the kitchen when we have these pretty cloths, doesn't it?

Those dishcloths are really pretty !!! I went to Micheals to get Bernat scrubby but they didn't have any so I got the scented kind in bright yellow!!! It smells great!
