Doily Dishcloth

Made a washrag using the same pattern Susan did. I'm such a copycat! I wanted to see if I could knit it, and if so, could I knit it quickly enough for Dish Rag Tag, and would it come out big enough to meet the Rag Tag requirements of 9" diameter.

It was really fun to knit, and quite large, about 11". I did have to tink back several rows a couple of times until I got used to paying closer attention, and the kitchener join was more annoying than necessary as I had to count several times to pick up the proper number of stitches. To dumb it down a little, I'm using a provisional cast-on for the next one.

In the natural yarn, doesn't it look like a little like a doily? But it made a nice gift, along with some Napa Valley Olive Oil, for my good friend T, who knows how to appreciate a handmade dishrag.

I find I can't close this entry without mentioning poor David. I will be attending his service this morning.
