Warm up your hooks for our 7th dishcloth of the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL 2019!
This week we’ll incorporate more post stitches and work them into clusters. By careful positioning of your stitches, we will create lovely textured columns. I love the look of this stitch pattern. With only a two row repeat, it’s simple enough to be able to watch your favorite TV show, but looks very intricate.
This dishcloth is named for a moderator of my Ravelry group, Terry. Terry always offers advice, encouragement and friendship. When she’s around, we enjoy her company, and she leaves us with a smile on our face. I hope you enjoy stitching Terry’s Dishcloth – it will make you smile.
PRIZES: Cascade Yarns has generously donated some Nifty Cotton Yarn for prizes this year. This is the same yarn that I’ve used in all 8 dishcloth designs, and it is soooo nice. You won’t want to miss out on this prize!
