Is there a MJF knitting group online? I did a search in the forum a year back and couldn't find anything. If anyone knows where to go please let me know! Thanks!

I am just a lurker but I made the dishcloths along with you guys and I just love all the patterns you have put on so far. So actually you can count me in from now on. wasn't sure I would be able to get them done but they were easy and I enjoyed doing them. So I am having fun and you guys didn't even know it!!! hehehehehe beverley

What a nice yellow one! I like it. My yarn-overs leave a hole but I just let it be part of the design.
I've got a couple of square ones done and love the pattern.
I'm ready for a new design. I learned to make the cable a long time ago and it is not hard at all. What about a cable up the middle of a dishcloth or something or a small purse?

I don't know if I'm up for the last pattern...it is sooo cute, but I'm still a novice knitter. I think I'll try the circular one, though. That looks like something I can tackle! Linda, I wanted to say that your blog is just great! I keep on going in to look at one thing on someone's blog, and then they are so great that I get stuck there for hours reading! I think that's why I'm behind on my spinning :)!!! Anyway, thanks for the great read.

Linda-Yay! Glad you made it over here! Your dishcloth looks great by the way. I love knitting socks, but haven't tried the 2 on circular needles yet either. I've done up several of the round dishcloths and find they also make great coasters and doilies ;)

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum today, I'm still up tonight and excited about all the new people and projects going on with all you farmgals.
At the welcome to MJ's Diana /dkelewae invited me to join your group of KAL's, well I kinda been here all along way back when you first started the first dishcloth. I thought I was unable to join because of my half broken PC, but it works here in the forums.
You all are doing great. Now I did finish the dishcloth and I'll show a picture , hope it works. But I sure got some mistakes. It was fun to do and I plan on making more. Guess what i'm giving for Christmas gifts this year , lol. But you know, I have givin away a couple and one for myself and are they nice for washing dishes!!! I love em.
I have been using the Peaches and Cream yarn , its been on sale at different places so I grab some when I can.
Boy do those mistakes show up.
I'm oh so ready to do the next one, what a cute knitting. It could be made into a pillow top.
I love to knit socks and tryin to learn to knit 2 at the same time on one of those circle needles, I'm havin a time with it to, so I just lay it down and growl at it :P
Happy knitting, hope I can join in on the inside this time : )

Yes the gnomes are Alan Dart's and soooo cute! I want to do a family of them with each of my family's traits... apron and knitting for me, fanny p ack for my husband (don't ask!), camera for son, long braids for daughter #1 and cat ears on hat for daughter #2. No beards for the gals. Anyway, I'll post pictures when I make the next one.

Oh...I'm SO glad! Hate for anyone to be turned off from the fun of knitting because of a round dishcloth! You won't believe how many scarves I've done just because they are easy, quick, and help me relax. My whole family is pretty sick of scarves and I still have a TON of scarf yarn. Right now, my problem is second sock syndrome. I get one done, put it down, and can't seem to get back to the next!
Keep me apprised of your progress! Take care! |

Thanks! I love it! I think I'll chart mine before I start. I am knitting 5 gnomes as my olympic knitting challenge. One down, 4 to go! I'll fit this project in somehow!!

Yarnmamma...do you know how to knit? The round pattern feels hard because of all the "turn arounds" but really once you get the hang of it... Anyway, have you tried just a simple square wash cloth? Here's an easy one. I knitted mine up to 50 stitches before decreasing.
Remember to knit loose. I find knitting two together gets harder w/cotton yarn. LMK how you are doing!
DIRECTIONS
Cast on 4 sts.
Row 1: Knit one row.
Row 2: K2, YO, knit to the end of the row.
Repeat row 2 until there are 40 sts (for dish scrubber) or 50 sts (for face
cloth).
Next row: K1, K2tog, YO, K2tog, knit to the end of the row.
Continue decreasing until 4 sts left. Cast off. |

I started today with the 1st one. Not hard at all, just a little countwork :)
My kitten LOVES me knitting, hehe. I gave him his own wool but he still likes my bigger one better, silly cat :D

There's no end date for the KAL as I didn't want folks to feel pressured to complete the projects. When you finish this one, post a pic for all of us to ooooh and aaaah over, and then if you desire you can move onto the next pattern that I posted the other day :)

I hope there's no end date as I haven't even started mine yet! I've got another project that I'm using the needles for. As soon as that's done I can start.

Kelly-LOL! Is it the Rodney Rooster pattern that you have? I've seen that one and it's really cute. Too bad nobody has a nice fat Henrietta Hen one to match it....but I'm going to keep searching.
Maybe we can do the Rodney Rooster pattern after the one I just posted :)
