cotton continues...and continues


i am not aiming for the world's largest dishcloth here. although it looks like it! this is the first strip of what hopefully will become a completed beach blanket someday. i just love knitting this pattern. and it goes so fast. not to mention how cheap this thing will be!

up until 2 days ago this was all i was working on, but now i have cast on for another project and am dedicating myself to that for a few days. i'll keep you posted.

Ooooh, I keep trying to think of things that I could make with that pattern since it's so wonderful (and yes, cheap!). This is a great idea!

WOW do I LIKE that. VERY, VERY cool color combos and what a PERFECT way to have a beach blanket without spending too much $$. Plus, the cotton should hold up well to the wear and tear.

You are just soo soo clever!

You're so quick! I need to get to my couch and knit right now - you're making me feel like a slacker.

Oh girl, you've got the dishcloth bug bad!

But the beach blanket strip is lovely! I continue to admire your color choices - even though I hold you personally responsible for my dishcloth knitting addiction!

I just finished my first ball band dishcloth tonight! Using the very same brown. Mine reminds me of a turtle (its main color is sage green). I've been thinking of all the things I could use the pattern for. I'm thinking a bag… the beach blanket is an excellent idea which I may have to steal.

Oh, and if it hasn't been said enough, your color combo rocks!

That's so funny - I am in the process of knitting my first of these dishcloths, and I was thinking that they would make a cute blanket! Love your colors!

Oh, the alliteration! Ball band beach blanket... :) It is going to be so comfy, I'm almost jealous. (Don't tell me I could make one myself...I'm a sock girl, lol. I never thought I'd be knitting a blanket at all but the log cabin got me.)
