Sunlight on the Lino Woke Me With A Shake
Over the past several months, I've been working a little at a time on some dishcloths. I'm using basic kitchen cotton from cheap craft stores, the cool Linoleum Dishcloth pattern (Rav Link), and just going a little at a time on them. It's a nice, nubby pattern, and if I could bear to clean dishes with these cloths, they'd do a really good job. The pattern is a two color slip stitch pattern, so it's very thick, and I expect it will be durable. It's likely that these are destined to be housewarming / hostess gifts, or they'll just pile up until I run out of cotton (sometime in 2010). I'm currently knitting one in red, white, & blue for the 4th of July, maybe Halloween next? Or should I skip right over to Christmas?
Here are some outtakes from the photo above, which basically mean that I need to wash these before I give them away. My favorite is Frieda jumping and licking her lips, too fast to be captured in pixels:
Maybe instead of washing, I should just give fair warning that they've had close contact with both dachshund and patio--I'd hate for them to look "used" before they are even out of the house!

hehehe, I knew you had to have some kinda treat for them to have such an intent look through the camera lens - otherwise, I'd have asked how you get your pets to behave so well for the camera :)
I love those dishcloths - I'm gonna have to add those to my queue.
Wash cloths look great and puppies are adorable!
I've been needing a new dishcloth pattern & I think you've helped me find one.

Oh my god, are they cute or what? The dishcloths are nice, too!
