I’m not much for knitting dishcloths, because I don’t use knitted dishcloths. I can’t imagine knitting something then plunging into the greasy muck of dirty pots and pans. I was intrigued, though, by this pattern for knitted facecloths. It’s in a book called WEEKEND KNITTING by Melanie Falick. I also like that they’re flowers:

The pattern calls for a cotton chenille, which sounds neat except I don’t have any and I’m not buying more. So, I stash-dove and found this yarn. I’m not even sure what it is. It looks like cotton but is a bit smoother, and I can smell the seracin of silk in it. So, it must be a blend – maybe of even more than cotton and silk. The colours are pretty, though, which is probably why I have it. Only one ball meant that there wasn’t enough for much – but there was enough for two flower power facecloths.

What do you think? Are you a dishcloth knitter? A facecloth knitter? Or a happy recipient of either?
