A dishrag story

By -


I fell in love with knitted dishcloths

I love how they look in my kitchen at the sink.

They say something to me.

They say cozy, sweet and almost Mary Engelbright.

Alas, having recovered from my injury, I know this truth:

I cannot knit with this type of yarn.

Not for along time.

Do you love to knit dishrags?

I'm willing to trade all this cotton yarn and a bit more,

To someone who will knit just one for me in return.

If more than one of you wants the offer,

we'll have a drawing.

I have to clear some stash, in the interest of space

and being grown up about staying well!

Dishrags,

who knew I'd be a dishrag nut as I turn 50??????
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I love knitted dishrags. They remind me of my Grandma. I made a bunch for my sister and she only uses the handknit ones to wash her kiddos faces.

I suppose crochet is worse for you then? I love to crochet dish rags and love the look of those even more. Count me in and I'll knit you one or two!

I don't need this yarn either, but if you'd like to email your snail mail addy I'll gladly knit you up a dishcloth or two. Any particular color in mind?

I don't need any more cotton either, but I would totally knit you a couple of dishrags. I like to make the round lace ones-so pretty yet functional.

I too will happily knit you dishcloths Dear One!! I also have more cotton yarn, both organic and Peaches 'n Creme, than I can ever use for me, my whole family and thee. I'm sure someone will take you up on your offer though.

Don't feel bad about not being able to knit with cotton yarn. I don't have any injuries and it makes my hands/arms hurt.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
