It’s been an odd couple of weeks, and I haven’t felt like doing much knitting or blogging for various reasons. I did finish up a couple of quick dishcloths last weekend though.

I made these using the free Textured Slip Stitch pattern from the Dishcloth Boutique. Looks a lot like the Mason-Dixon Warshrag pattern, no? I’m pretty sure it is the exact same pattern.

I knit these after Amy told me about how much she loves using the linen dishcloth that she knit.  So, I picked up some Louet Euroflax linen to make a couple dishcloths for myself.  Hopefully they’ll be a good replacement for my kitchen sponges.  I’m not a big fan of the sponge.

Let me tell you, the linen yarn is not much fun to knit at all. It’s like knitting with twine or wire.  There’s no stretch whatsoever. But it knits up into a lovely fabric - much softer than I expected, but still rough enough to take on kitchen messes. I’ve got at least one more dishcloth worth of yarn to knit up from the skein, and after that it’s back to my regularly scheduled knitting - socks, Salina, and Sahara.
