NOV KAL

Hi, this is day 1 of our 16th of the month KAL. 

Here are our Guidelines:

Everyday rows will be sent via an email, I will be "Replying" to this
email so all of the rows will be on one email at the end of the KAL.

Use our KAL Blog if you don't see the rows. If you are a "Special
Notice" member, you will need to get your rows for day 2 - final from
our blog or checking our site for the "updated" emails. Yahoo doesn't
provide for "reply" messages to be sent to the Special Notice members.

If you need help, check www.knittinghelp.com for any assistance or write an email to
the group for help.

For day 1 and day 2, I will post a photo of those days rows on our KAL
Blog for those who want to see if they are progressing correctly.

Using Lifelines will help with any project. If you aren't sure what
that is, there is plenty of info on the Internet about it but it is
basically where you put thread or thin yarn through a row already
worked, designating that all the rows to that point are error free.
You should document what row you put the lifeline in so you have a point
of reference. If you make any error after that point, you know you are
OK with the previous rows anyway.

1 skein of two colors....color 1 & color 2, #6 or 7 needles.  The recommended colors are blue & white....however, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up you could use those kinds of colors if you wish.

Notes:
PW=Purl Wise  (don't move yarn to purl position, leave in knitting position but put needle under and in front of the next stitch and move to the right needle)
W/YIF=With yarn in front
W/YIB=With yarn in back
Sl=Slip

Day 1:
Cast on 35

Border:
Knit 2 rows (Blue-Solid)

Row 1: (Color 1) K3, K2, *Sl 1 (PW), K5*; Repeat between *'s, end Sl 1, K2, K3
Row 2: (Color 1) K3, Purl across row, slipping the previous Slip Stitches on to the right needle (PW), K3

Start row 3 with Color 2, dropping color 1 and let it run along the side of the row.

Row 3: (Color 2) K3, *K5, Sl 1 (PW) *; Repeat between *'s, end K5, K3
Row 4: (Color 2) K3, *K5, W/YIF, Sl 1 (PW), W/YIB *; Repeat between *'s, end K5, K3

Pick up Color 1 and drop Color 2, letting the other color follow along the side of the row. Follow this process when changing colors.

  1. Hi! I'm excited this is my first dishcloth with your blog. I have a newbie question. Is the border blue the same as color 1?
