Check, Please
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Official Dish Rag of Son of Dish Rag Tag:
Simple to follow. Easy to knit. And it doubles as a checker board!
Or, if you’ve got more brain than I, a chess board.
This set is an Etsy find that I acquired by surprise (surprise is another word for Fate). It seems like an appropriate gift for Dish Rag Tag’s Most Valuable Player this year.
Our MVP this year will win the pebble chess set and some matching cotton to knit a board. Make it as a Christmas gift, or a birthday present, or a travel set to put in the car.
To nominate someone for MVP, just email me or leave a comment with your Most Valuable Player’s first name and team (or state of origin). Everyone “nominated” will be part of a random drawing for the prize after the race ends. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you about it several times between now and then.
More prizes coming soon!

Not that is just way to cool….. I get so excited about this contest. I can hardly wait……

Very cool indeed!
I can’t wait to knit that cloth!
Send me a box right now! Oh, it’s hard to wait.
That’s the cutest little chess set! Somebody’s gonna love it to pieces.

I love this pattern and am anxious to make it! But I think I need some sort of update somewhere–I’ve heard from no one except my daughter who says she can see I’ve been assigned to a team!

I love this year’s pattern!

That chess set is so cute! And the dishrags are lovely.

Love the pattern! Can’t wait!

That chess set is great! It’ll be perfect with the dishcloth. You could knit and actual checkerboard if you were smarter than me…..

What a clever idea! My kids would love the pebble chess set. I really like the “basket weave” pattern of the dishcloth. Just counting the days for the race to begin.

Love the cloth! Last year we used the same box for the whole round – will that be the same this year, or should we have a small flate rate box ready to go!
August 19th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
OMG! That is adorable!
I’m feeling better about actually being able to finish the pattern in a reasonable amount of time, too.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
I absolutely LOVE that pattern–cannot wait to knit it!!!
