January 07 Dishcloth
When I was quilting, I believe this was called “feathered star.” I’m actually not sure what it is supposed to be. It was part of the January Dishcloth Knit-along. I use the dishcloths as a way to practice knitting continental - or in this case PURLING continental. I haven’t really found a way to purl [continental] that’s comfortable and efficient - if it’s comfortable, it’s not efficient…and visa versa. I guess I’m just a “thrower” at heart. I SO wannabe Continental. For the final [seed stitch] border, I had to switch back to throwing because it was too loose. Anyway, what with all the throwing and non-throwing and purling and whatnot, I’m more than a little surprised there weren’t even more mistakes in it. It has taken it’s place in the stack o’ bridal shower/wedding reception gift cloths. I need to make a few more dragonflies. I really like that cloth, and have a few friends and family members that have assured me THEY really like that cloth too. Hmmm…wonder if they want one? <grin>
