I've been rather unproductive since I've been home from Phoenix. I've spent time at the sewing machine but handwork has been pushed back.
I did complete another dishcloth this week. Most of it was knitted in the back seat of my brother's car while my Indiana siblings and I drove to Ohio to visit our sister.
Yes, I did miss the alternate row in my knitting. This is a dishcloth, going to be used to wash dishes. I don't frog dishcloths.
Here is the pattern I use for knitted dish cloths.
Seed Stitch Dish Cloth - With a size #6 circular needle cast on 40 stitches. Row 1 & 2 – knit. Row 3 & 4 – Knit 2 *K1 P1 repeat from * across to last 2 stitches k2. Repeat rows 1 – 4 for pattern until measures 9” (same as bottom edge), ending with Rows 1 & 2. Bind off. I don't remember where I found this pattern. I use a #4 circular needle. I like my dishcloths knitted more tightly.
Hopefully next week I'll have applique or quilting to show you.

Dishcloths are a perfect way to get in some slow stitching when there isn't time for much else! Love that pretty green!
dish clothes are perfect for 'visit knitting' and 'car knitting' both. And that's a lovely color - so cheerful.
Thanks for your pattern. I wouldn't frog a dishcloth either. Although I am a little anal that way. I like the yarn color. I hope you enjoyed your visit with your sister.
Love the green. I wouldn't have even noticed the error if you hadn't mentioned it. Happy Easter!
I'm with Karrin - I would not have seen that row unless pointed out. It will still wash up those dished beautifully. I'll have to give this pattern a try... I usually just do the same pattern over and over.
Those knitted and crocheted dish clothes are good travel projects. I had a house guest a few years ago, who left me a cute set of 2 as a surprise on the nightstand with a thank you note. What a nice gift that was.
Thx for the pattern. I can always have a row that is missed, messed up, etc. I figure it is for Dishes so if I mess it up I will do better next one~ LOL. Neat pattern!
