If you haven’t taken a look at the wonderful collection of dish cloth links in the comments of this post, you really should. Even though the Ball Band pattern is the obvious crowd favorite, there are many listed that were new to me! Including Wishy Washy Fishy Tawashi from Amanda that may be my most favorite of all time. The name alone makes me want to knit one, the picture makes me want to knit half a dozen.
But I won’t make you wait any longer…
The winner of our little half way contest will receive two balls of cotton, a pattern book and a set of 7″ US6 bamboo needles from Chiao Goo. Joan is responsible for the wealth of needles to be used as Dish Rag Tag prizes this year! I’ll tell you more about them when I get a minute to test drive a pair.
The Random Number Generator has picked 26! Comment 26 belongs to Felicia! She had this to say about patterns:
When nothing in the knitting basket is going right, I usually whip out a ballband. But that’s been done to death before me! I also have done my fair share of Four Corners – but for the life of me, I can’t remember the blog I got it from. Did you see the pics from the hot pad swap? Amazing – and in single layers, would all make fantastic dishcloths!
I know this pattern well. I knit ten of them as starter dish rags for the Original Dish Rag Tag. Abigail (the Four Corners’ author and one of my favorite knitters) knit the the other ten. Abigail’s Four Corners Dishcloth can be found here.
Guess what? I just received an Etsy convo that the 2nd Place Team Prizes are ready! Just wait until you see them!
I’m with you on the Wishy Washy Fishy Tawashi… oh.my.goodness. So adorable.
Congrats to Felicia!
I totally forgot to check out that gob of dishcloth links. Goin’ now. Thanks!
Yay Felicia! 🙂 Off to see that Fishy thing.
Congrats Felicia! I have been wanting to make a bunch of those Wishy Washy Fishy Tawashis too. Lots of great dishcloth ideas in the comments!
Congratulations Felicia!
I love the post with all the links to dish rag patterns. I saw some really pretty ones. I can’t wait to try them.
Congratulations Felicia! That’s a nifty pattern book, I’ve seen it several times at my local Knit Night. I am awash in Tawashi, with no signs of stopping. 🙂
How exciting! Not only are there new dishcloth links to check out, but yarn, needles and a pattern book coming my way! I always have more fun than you would think possible with DRT!
Enjoy your goodies, Felicia! Emily, I am so hooked on making the W.W.Fishys. I am on fish #6 in two days and I see no end to this in the near future. Such a delight to drag out all those cotton scraps from dishrags and put them to good use in a “fishy”. Thanks for all the FUN brought our way through this blog…you rock girl!
What a great prize! Thanks again, Emily, for making this so much fun for all of us!
