Description:

Instead of doing dishcloths, I have decided to do a washcloth swap!!

This swap is for one handmade 100% cotton washcloth. It can either be knit/crochet or sewed. You will have one partner and will make one wash cloth. If you want to send along the pattern you used, please feel free to do so. (I love getting new patterns).... Any color or design, senders choice. When I knit washcloths I usually cast on either 25 or 29 stitches. I make them a little smaller than dishcloths.

Do not wait for partners to be assigned. Choose any pattern and color of cotton yarn you would like and get started right away.

This is not an expensive swap to complete. Please do not use designer cotton yarns for this project. These dishcloths are meant to be useful and durable.

No swappers with less than a 4.8.

If you're a newbie and want to join you must have a fully completed profile. Have fun... I will angel if need be.

Is there a difference between dishcloths and washcloths? (Not in the use, but in the type of pattern I'd use.)

LisaLisa3 08/ 4/2011 #

The patterns I have for knitting a washcloth usually have me cast on either 25 or 29 stitches. They can be slightly smaller than a dishcloth. I have a really cute Christmas tree pattern I can send you if you a knitter. Let me know. : )

This is only for knitted or crocheted? I don't do either but I do make other wash cloths.

LisaLisa3 08/ 4/2011 #

That might be interesting @weeatcrayons I think I will edit the swap and add sewing?? Would that cover how you make yours? I like this idea....

weeatcrayons 08/ 4/2011 #

Yes I do sew mine! I have all handmade dish and wash cloths I've done in my house!

@LisaLisa3 Thanks! I'll look up patterns, but in the meantime, I'd love to see the Christmas tree pattern. :)

LisaLisa3 maybe you could add a link for clarification on the size of a wash cloth. Thanks.

watching for now to see if I can get one made before the deadline as I am going on vacation. I have one in the works, but don't know if I like the way its coming out.

treehugger 08/19/2011 #

Finished mine today! :)

BrandiAM 08/21/2011 #

Just now finished mine. :)

I started mine last night! I think it is turning out beautifully, but I am worried about the difference between a dishcloth and washcloth????

When will we be receiving our swap partner? I would like to contact my partner to get her colors before I make mine. I have the pattern already picked out. I'm ready to get started!
