I was commissioned by the wonderful Patchwork Pottery Artist Laurraine Yuyama to make these cloths.

Yes, they are boring and I complained about having to make one stitch over and over again, but I’ve actually missed having something mindless to knit while just sitting around! Here's the pattern.

I think I’ll start another one this evening. :-)

What did you use to make these? I can tell it is not the Crystal Palace Chenille! (Which is beautiful, but impractical for kitchen cloths IMHO!) Is it just dishcloth cotton? I bookmarked the pattern for later use. Thank you for posting!

I love mindless knitting like this! It's very zen and relaxing. What kind of cotton did you use? Those colors are so earthy and pretty.

Thanks, and you're welcome! I used Sugar n' Cream in Ecru and Jute and Peaches & Cream in Camel. I love working with dishcloth cotton...it does feel so 'earthy'.

[this is good]

I have a couple of these I have bought at garage sales, they really are the BEST!!!! The weave makes for a really soft abrasive when cleaning counter tops and cabinets!

Thanks, L. I plan on making more for the swap. She is going to send some skeins of her favorite colors, as well as skeins for my personal use as trade. Yay for bartering!
