Thank you, Lisa!
My first introduction to knitted dishcloths was from my husband's grandmother. She had a friend who made them, and she would buy them from her for gifts. She gave us some with her wedding gift, and then she gave me several more throughout the years.
Now that my husband's grandma has passed away, I have to make them myself! I'm thinking it's about time to teach my older daughter to make them. 🙂

You do beautiful work, both knitting and photographing!
My mother in law used to make me 6 new dishcloths for every birthday and every Christmas because she knew I loved them so. She tried to teach me to knit and crochet and one of us gave up, I'm not sure which! lol
I still have some of the dishcloths she made me but need some new ones. I look at craft shows but they don't seem to be the "in" thing.

You're welcome, Gail! I love those colors, too. 🙂
Gail says
Joy, thank you! I love the blues and greens of that color!
Blessings!

Thank you, Gail! I believe the blue and green one is called "Country Stripes," and you can see it on this page:

I so much appreciate your encouraging words about my blog. Thank you for visiting me here!
Gail says
Joy, your washclothes are beautiful! What is the name of the color of the blue and green one. You live sure a peaceful beautiful life…I enjoy visiting your blog. Thank you for sharing!
Blessings from Kansas!

Ellen,
Thanks! I can't get anything from our library. It's so small that they don't even have some classic children's books! It's very disappointing. David was able to find this book used somewhere. Maybe Homeschool Classifieds.
Happy Whimsical Hearts,
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Emma,
Thank you! This time of year I crave color. 🙂
EMMA says
Your dish clothes are wonderful, such pretty colours.
Happy Whimsical Hearts says
What a pretty pattern and such lovely spring colours 🙂
Ellen says
Such beautiful colors and the lighting in your photos is lovely. I've tried to get Karen Andreola's book from our library but with no success so far. I might actually have to break down and buy it.

Lori,
Thank you! I love the bright colors, too. These are great for "knitting therapy!" 🙂
Swanski,
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Jennifer,
I hope you enjoy making these as much as I have! 🙂
Jennifer says
Thank you for another pattern; I can't wait to try it!
I, too, have made 'many' of the Grandmother's pattern, and am ready for a change 🙂
Swanski says
Your dish clothes are so cheerful! I bet your kitchen is bright and happy now 🙂
Illinois Lori says
So pretty! I love the coral and yellow colors (my favs). I might start making some dishcloths, I'll need some "knitting-therapy" soon!
Blessings,
Lori

Thanks! Don't start them–they're addictive! You should probably be out gardening…I imagine you have been. This weather is making me think about planting something.
Ava Louise says
Your pictures and your dish clothes are so pretty. Makes me want to knit some even though I've got a multitude of other projects started.
