A tisket, a tasket
A cotton loaded basket
Yes, it’s true, I’ve been bitten by the Mason Dixon dishcloth bug. They’re useful! They’re quick! They’re cotton so they don’t stick to me in all this humidity!
They are my knitting of choice these days, my friends. If you haven’t tried one yet, I think it’s about time.
Kathy Said,
I love them too! Pretty!
Lolly Said,
I can’t believe I haven’t tried one yet. They are so friggin’ cute! Maybe this next month…
maryse Said,
aren’t they fun? like candy.
Manise Said,
I’m half-way through my first one. There ARE addictive, but lots of fun. Love the colors side by side in the basket.
Ann Said,
So lovely! All lined up in that basket! Warshrags .. the new socks?
Rachel H Said,
Those look lovely. And I never thought I’d say that about a wash cloth. Great colours.
Michelle Said,
There great!! I like the texture… Great basket full of colors! Love it! Stay cool! suppose to be hot this week! Yikes!
Norma Said,
What a CUUUUUUUUTE basketful.
jessie Said,
I LOVE your dishrags. That’s what I should be working on in this weather, instead of a one-piece wool sweater. Duh.
A few months ago, I apologetically shared a cotton dishrag I had made, since it was not a hip kind of knit, but it was easy and practical, far superior to bought dishrags. Then Mason-Dixon came out and suddenly dishrags are cool.
I guess I’m ahead of my time.
Karen Said,
They looks so pretty and cheerful in that basket with all the bright colors. I think you’re right, I do need to try one.
Kim Said,
Aren’t those dishcloths the best? I love that pattern!
Scout Said,
I haven’t tried one but they’re cute!
Liz K. Said,
I, too, have been bitten by the warshrag bug this summer, although I am making dishtowels (inspired by NonaKnits) as I am a sponge-user to wash dishes, but love a dishtowel for other jobs.
sandy Said,
I never thought I’d be saying this, but I love your washrags.
Chris Said,
They’re lovely! It looks like you are set for either small gifts or dishwashing for a LONG time.
Karen Said,
Oh they are beautiful! Aren’t they an addictive knit!
Kathleen Said,
Fab colors. Little projects are so gratifying!!
Martha Said,
They look lovely all lined up in your basket!
christine Said,
How funny! I have a cotton loaded basket on our hearth too! Perfect summer knitting!!
Jennifer Said,
Love the photos, those are some cheery dishcloths!
lynette Said,
i love all the colors you come up with! how nice. i still have a long way to go by the amount of yarn i bought.
Kat Said,
I’ve got the bug too. They are perfect hot weather knitting.
margene Said,
Oh my gosh they are so cute!! Wouldn’t a couple of them tied up with ribbon be a lovely gift? The basket full is truly eye candy.
Monica Said,
How funny that as I hear the words “A tisket, a tasket, I lost my yellow basket” (Ella Fitzgerald) I pull up your post.
They look great in the basket, so bright and cheerful.
amanda Said,
Great color combos!
Ruth Said,
That’s it. I’m going to Michael’s this afternoon.
Chris H Said,
Just too cute! And me, working on my sweater…
Just might have to set that aside and whip up a few of these!
Oh, and I just have to ask…where did you get that basket?
Kelly Said,
The dishcloths are reall great summer knitting! Especially with all the hot and humid days we’ve been having this summer.
Jess Said,
Dunno why but I just don’t feel the pull…
Birdsong Said,
Love the photo with the basket! I can certainly relate to the “bug”, as I made a few dozen last fall for Katrina relief centers… easy to carry around and work on without really thinking about it. You picked some snazzy, bright color combos, too.
Stephanie Said,
Very pretty. I really need to knit some more of those cute little warshrags!
Dena Said,
I just got the book yesterday and just finished reading the dishcloth section. I’ll have to check out my cotton stash to see what I could use for dishcloths now.
Kristi aka Fiber Fool Said,
I’m stock piling them myself. I figure they’ll make a nice contribution to the homemade cheese and liquer gifts we have come to be known for around holiday time!
Lucia Said,
So colorful! I’ll have to try one.
Emily Said,
I think you might have just won the esteemed title of “Dishrag Poster Child.” If the basket full of color doesn’t make the holdouts run to Michael’s, I don’t know what will! Your crown is in the mail!
Karen Said,
Fast, fun and cotton. Perfect for this weather we have been having.
SpiderWomanKnits Said,
My, what a lovely basket of dishclothes you have dear
Aren’t they so much fun to knit. Addictive too.
Dave Daniels Said,
OMFG, that is one HUGE stack of washcloths! It’s really so cool. So Mason-Dixon. So Carole!
missa Said,
LOVE them!!!
Judy Said,
very cute…I love all of them displayed in the basket!
sarah b. Said,
I just finished another one! I love how quick they are and yours look great. Love the colors.
Kim Said,
you have been a busy girl! I love the colors….so bright and cheery!
Deb Said,
OK – well if I wasn’t interested, I am now. Guess I’ll be looking for cotton at work tomorrow since I just bought the the book to look at the Log Cabin Blanket patterns!
Rachel Said,
Ack! I am trying to resist! (It seems like I expend all my energy these days trying to resist crazes sweeping the knitblog world — socks, spinning, dyeing, and now dishcloths.) But those are so bright and cheery and so gosh darn useful looking, I feel my will power starting to crack.
Must. Be. Strong!!
heather Said,
delicious colors! I have a drawer full of that cotton yarn, and the book. MUST–RESIST–ANOTHER—PROJECT.
Laurie Said,
Cute! I like the way you organized them for the photo shoot. Dishcloth? Warshrag? Either? It’s been hard being faithful to wool this past month.
ck Said,
Those make such a pretty arrangement in the basket!
