Oh, how cool!! We have to do playgroup at your house next so you can show off all your projects!!! And the PIANO! I'm totally jealous.... I hope it brings you many years of happiness! :) Oh, that and that A/C--LOL! I have to admit, seeing the Enterprise commercials, I always think "What am I going to do or say w/ a guy picking me up w/ a rental car?? We'll have to talk or something...and I don't know if I'm comfortable w/ that....." So I feel ya! I hope there aren't any more strangers in your near future!

Cool....can you convert this to a crochet pattern?? I don't knit very well, but can whip out some crochet pretty quickly and would love to make some of these!!

Heather said...

I found your pattern from a KAL group and have to applaud you. This is fantastic. Thank you very much!

Hi! I'd like to ask you about using the beautiful pattern for a KAL with our yahoo based charity group called "From the Heart of Texas." Would you e-mail me and let me know that's ok? My name is Victoria, and e-mail is vickiespot@excite.com Thank you so much for this pattern!! :)

Heather said...

What an amazing pattern! Would you mind if I made these to sell, citing you as the designer?

Lizzie said...

I don't mind if anyone uses this pattern to make cloths to sell. :)

Heather said...

Thank you!!

On row 57, it says "same as row 57". What is the true direction for this? :)

Thanks for catching that mistake! I fixed it--the top border now matches the bottom. :)

I noticed the error and jess was nice enough to ask you about 57 also another typing error and the only other one is:Row8(and all even rows to follow): K1, P1, K1, P to last 3 stitches then, K1, P1, K1 is what row 8 should say but it says right now purl to the end k1 p1 k1.I love this dishcloth it is my favorite ever please let me know if you design anymore:) t_watts29@yahoo.com

Lizzie said...

That is a great pattern - thanks for sharing!! I've already started one and I know a bunch more people who would love one!!

Hi, I was wondering what BO method did you use for it? I need to bind off mine but don't know which method to use.

Lizzie said...

I used the standard bind-off method seen here: http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/casting-off.

If you used the long-tail cast-on method, there is also a bind-off that matches it well: http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2008/1/5/whits-knits-a-better-bind-off-tutorial.html.

Hope this helps!

Knitting with a Purpose said...

This is wonderful! I love knitting dishcloths and with my third BF baby here (almost 7 weeks old), these are patterns I can almost finish! I've actually managed to knit while nursing. :) I'm going to be starting one of these today!

I've already made two of these (one is giant because I used a size 7 needle but my daughter loves it in th bathtub). The other I made for my physical therapist in thanks for fixing my neck so I could knit again. Brilliant pattern, thanks so much for figuring it out. Congratulations on your pregnancy #4. I just checked out 3dpregnancy.com because I did the original editing on the pregnancy calendar about 6 months ago before it got tarted up and turned into a massive advertisement. Trust me that it was a lot more mother-baby, breastfeeding and natural childbirth friendly before nickelodeon got ahold of it -- with suggestions like "buy used baby stuff! let the baby sleep with you! breastfeed on demand" not "Buy more stuff!"

Thanks so much for this! I'm a LLL peer supporter and plan to give one of these cloths to all our team :o)
