Cotton Crazy

 In spite of already having a rather large cotton stash, I couldn't help but add to it. I just happened to be driving by a Joanne's while doing an errand so I stopped in to have a look. I haven't bought any in a long while and I was amazed at all the wonderful new colorways. Cotton has come a long way.

My plan is not to use any of my newly finished dishcloths until I have a pile of seven. In the past I found I didn't like a soggy old dishcloth hanging around for long so I never used the few I had made. Now with one for each day of the week,  I will be able to throw them in the laundry basket every night and have a clean one for the next day. If I can bring myself to use them at all. They are almost too pretty to be cleaning up the kind of messes I make around here.

    I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that is a bit cotton crazy. I have several drawers devoted to the cotton for dishcloth stash. I have that same pattern and I love it but one does need to change them out daily. Which is my perfect excuse for needing a new ball of it every time I'm in town. Knitting dishcloths ranks right up there with knitting socks in my world. :-D

    We are just heading into spring so cotton will be hitting the stores here soon. Might be the perfect summer knitting projects for our hot summer. Yours are such beautiful colours.

    I love making these. I have oodles of that pink. I made them when my granddaughter was a baby for her wash cloths. Of course I have a stack of them and love to make them when I travel and leave them behind as gifts for my DIL.

    I've been knitting dishcloths too! But mine are being tucked away for Christmas! (except for the linen stitch one I did that I like too much to give away!
