hi ~
hi fellow knitters,
this month I have a real challenge for all of you:
YOU have to find the cloth you want to knit!!

if you haven't been to this free knitting site [did I mention *free*?!], you're in for a good time ~
much more than dishcloths, for those of you wanting to knit something more ~
and lots of knit how-to's. They have 1000s of free patterns of all types!

So now here's your chance to explore and find something you'd like to start on - first, the link to the site:
All Free Knitting!

If you want to go right to dishcloths use this link:

Cookout Crafts: 30 Knit Dishcloth Patterns and More

This is my last KAL with you for a while - and my last Challenge KAL for this year.
We are moving, I hope to get back into KAL's when settled later in the year.

Happy Knitting Days to all of you!

June 2019 CHALLENGE-KAL

Happy Summer from Rosie!

hi fellow knitters,

I'm a bit early - but thought you might need a gift for Father's Day!

or just to pass the time at your vacation home this month -

This is a sweet little dishcloth - it's only knits! no purls!

The challenge this month is to trust the pattern!

This is a shaped cloth [heart], and it might sound strange to not be doing wrapped turns or mid-row cast on's, etc. But none of that!

The terms you need to know are Kfb, K 2 tog, YO, SSK

This looks really nice in variegated yarns!

This is called Sister Hearts, and you can find the pattern at her site:

https://www.simplynotable.com/2016/sister-hearts

NOTE: on ROW 23, she has a "K 0" in the middle of row -

I believe she did that because you K 2 together on either side of that - in other words, [K 2tog]twice
