hi fellow knitters -

Anyone have any questions about this KAL?

The name of this pattern is Fire and Ice,  by our designer and moderator, Janet N.

  The info is at our dishcloth blog, including the update on the pattern, which had a numbering error in it- [see, below]

if you are knitting and on the second page, you will see some rows look omitted - but it is simply the numbering of rows that has the error.  So keep knitting!

  I noted on the blog, [below] you can also just use the first 4 rows, repeating them to how large a cloth you want to have. The entire pattern simply repeats those 4 rows.

  You can access our yahoo dishcloth blog, [you are here!] - and/or

access the pattern directly at our yahoo  group site's files, link below.

 

Happy Knitting, can't wait to see all the colors you are using!

hi fellow knitters -

welcome to our second KAL for June!

Here is the start on my dish-cloth:

I'm using RED for my main/solid color

and

dibs and dabs of leftover VARIEGATED yarns in my stash ~

 This is a terrific pattern, because you can be as free as you want in using color!

[and it's another one of our moderator, Janet N's lovely designs!]

It will allow you to use some of those beautiful variegated yarns you have on hand -

and also you could use up some yarn stash - you know, those bits and pieces [I call them]- you know,

-the leftovers- from other projects!

Pattern calls for one solid color yarn and one skein Variegated [or you can choose your leftovers]

Recommended colors used in pattern:

1 skein Premium Passion [P&C yarn #128]

1 skein Variegated yarn

ANY two colors will work -

You will be *changing* colors every 2 rows - you do NOT need to cut yarn,

simply carry it alongside the border when changing to the other color.

What you need to know:   Colors used will be referred to as:

*Solid = Main Color

*Variegated = your choice of second color, whether solid or variegated is up to you

Needle: #6 or 7 whichever you prefer

No numbers or letters in this KAL!

Abbreviations:
PW =Purl Wise
W/YIF =With yarn in front
W/YIB =With yarn in back
Sl =Slip

To get started ~

Day 1:
Cast on 35

To continue your dish-cloth, go to our files at our group page, and you have your choice of downloading the pattern either as a Word doc. or as a PDF.

Scroll down to our KAL for today:

    2010 Mid-Nov KAL - Fire and Ice

There is mis-numbering in the pattern in the KAL files - so I will notify Janet when she returns from vacation -
but it is NO problem!  In fact, the entire pattern is a repeat of the first 4 rows...
Here they are, if you just want to work from these -
[ you can repeat pattern for about 50 rows, end with a pattern 2 row, then knit 2 rows in your main color solid for border. ]

After your 2 rows of Border, begin these 4 pattern rows, repeated as many as you like*

Row 1: (Solid) K3, K2, *Sl 1 (PW), K5*; Repeat between *'s, end Sl 1, K2, K3
 
Row 2: (Solid) K3, Purl across row, slipping the previous Slip Stitches on to the
right needle (PW), K3
 
Start row 3 with the variegated yarn, dropping the solid color and let it run along
the side of the row.
 
Row 3: (Variegated) K3, *K5, Sl 1 (PW) *; Repeat between *'s, end K5, K3
 
Row 4: (Variegated) K3, *K5, W/YIF, Sl 1 (PW), W/YIB *; Repeat between *'s,
end K5, K3

Pick up solid and drop variegated, letting the variegated follow along the side of
the row. Follow this process when changing colors.

*  you can repeat pattern for about 50 rows, end with a pattern 2 row, then knit 2 rows in your main color solid for border.  Bind Off.

 Thank you Janet for letting me host the June KALs ~

Happy Knitting!
