Erin’s Dishcloth

Erin’s Dishcloth

Welcome to the 2nd installment of our Dishcloth CAL.  Erin’s Dishcloth brings us a simple, yet effective texture. Not all texture is bulky or layered. Sometimes, just a combination of basic stitches can result in a beautiful and textured fabric. This dishcloth...

Berniece’s Dishcloth

Berniece’s Dishcloth

Welcome to Day 1 of the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL! This year I decided to design our cloths with texture. Some have a little – some have a lot – but they all have some. Texture doesn’t always mean post stitches or popcorn stitches. There are so many different...

This dishcloth was designed in honor of my Aunt Becky. She was the younger of my dad’s two sisters. She was only 8 years older than me, so she was like a big sister. I loved visiting her at my grandparent’s farm. She always had a large stash of Archie comic books that...

CAL – Dishcloth #9

CAL – Dishcloth #9

Today's dishcloth uses chain loops in a way that brings texture to the cloth. Texture is important when scrubbing dishes, so I try to incorporate some in many of my dishcloth designs. This particular stitch is very easy to work and also just looks pretty. You can work...
