The last little while, there has been a big resurgence of interest in the dishcloth knit-a-long. I think it is largely due to this listing of knit-a-longs. A warm welcome to all that have recently joined in. I fear that I have been a bad KAL host. Heck, I haven't even knit a cloth myself (and I know I'm not the only one)!!! My excuse is that shortly after beginning the KAL, I was "off" from knitting for a while due to my carpal tunnel or whatever it is. When I was finally able to knit again, I wasn't too enthused about knitting dishcloths. But really, dishcloths are a great item to knit. For one, it is a great way to try new stitches, and to experiment with design a bit yourself. Also, now that the warmer weather is here, they'd be great to knit while out camping or watching your kids play ball. They'd also make great end of year gifts for your kids' teachers.
And another good reason to knit a dishcloth, Susan has just designed and posted this new dishcloth pattern, maybe give it a try? Thanks Susan!
So, please consider joining this knit-a-long. I promise I'll try to be a better hostess and actually knit a cloth myself. Also, I've noticed that many knit-a-longs are now boasting their own yahoo group or blog. Let me know if you think this would be a good idea for this KAL.
