Forgotten Knitting
One day a couple of weeks ago I left the sock in progress sitting on my desk when I went home for the day. Arrrgh. At the time the sock was my mindless knitting project since the only other thing on the needles was the Cable Moss Vest. What's a knitter to do?
Whip up a couple of dishcloths, of course.
Here we have two new dishcloths from the ever-popular and oh-so-fun pattern in the Mason Dixon knitting book. I not only decreased my Sugar 'n Cream stash by a couple of balls but I wound up with some functional knits, too. And also a bit of blog fodder for a day when I don't have much else to show you.
Is it the weekend yet, Dave?

Those are some very pretty dishcloths.

Excellent dishcloths! I never thought I would say that about something used to wash dishes...LOL!

Very nice! Looks like springtime.

Very nice! I should do some of those for car knitting. (Since we carpool and Grant drives, I get to knit -- but nothing too involved so I can still converse in what passes with me for an intelligent fashion.)

A fun knit, very useful and something that keeps you knitting...priceless. They take cute pictures, too.

Very springy! So pretty you'd hate to use them!

Those dishcloths really are multi-functional aren't they? They provide mindless knitting when you need it, blog fodder when there's nothing to say and, oh yeah, they're handy in the kitchen too. Gotta love it.

Those are lovely! Do you happen to know what color you used for the non-slipped stitch sections?

Very pretty!

Lovely dishcloths. It's exactly that kind of situation that provides justification for having a stash, I think.

Those always look so cheery. :D
It better be the weekend soon. I need a nap!

Pretty. I hear ya re: the weekend. I am a zombie today.

Functional knit and functional for blog fodder. What's there not to like about it? Looks like Easter is creeping into your color choices. :-)

Dishcloths make perfect filler knitting!! Love 'em.

Pretty!
It can't be the weekend soon enough.

sigh, not the weekend yet. arggh
Your dishcloths are pretty enough I just might have to break my no-dishcloths rule (I abuse my dishcloths mercilessly)

I love knits that are both pretty and functional. The MDK dishcloths certainly fit that bill!
Posted by: Rachel at March 15, 2007 2:34 PM
It's time for me to knit some more of those too! I just love them. And I like the colors you chose very much!
Posted by: Leah at March 15, 2007 3:24 PM
Perfect. I always have to have something going too!
Posted by: Kathy at March 15, 2007 3:34 PM
Cute disclothes. Love the pretty spring colors!
Posted by: Kelly at March 15, 2007 4:29 PM
Nothing like something quick and fun to feel like you're making progress knitting down the stash. Very nice.
Posted by: Theresa at March 15, 2007 5:08 PM
I need to make more of those - they are such a satisfying project!
Posted by: ann at March 15, 2007 6:53 PM
It's almost the weekend...almost...
Posted by: Dave Daniels at March 15, 2007 8:36 PM
In perfect spring colors, too! I am eager for the weekend too, the learning curve for the new job has been steep, leading to loss of nighttime rest... time for a break.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be desperate enough to knit a warshcloth - I'm sorry, they do nothing for me...
Posted by: JessaLu at March 16, 2007 9:24 AM
Wow. I miss a day or two and you've knit dishcloths and posted photos of a truly incredible cabled vest! Gorgeous work on that vest...
How much snow are they predicting for your part of New England?
(((hugs)))

Isn't it nice to see a hint of spring?!
Posted by: Sue at March 16, 2007 5:50 PM
Your dishcloths look wonderful.
do you enjoy that mason-dixon book? I love the authors, but the book just never drew me in and called my name. Perhaps I'm missing something?
