Coffee Cloth and the next project…

Coffee cup dishclothThe pattern for this cloth can be found at Knitting Memories blogspot. I’ve been meaning to try this one for a while. What self-respecting coffee swilling household shouldn’t have one of these??? It comes out to about a 9 by 9 inch square for me when I knit it on size 6 needles (4.0 mm). I believe this is likely the next to the last dischcloth for me for a while. I’m down to the last of the cotton worsted yarn, and using it to knit this KAL with this week. So, that should wrap things up for the dishcloth flu.

Meanwhile…speaking of catching fiber bugs, I think I’m one of maybe 10 online knitters in the world who have not made Kate Gilbert’s Clapotis. I have always thought it was an intriguing pattern, but just never got caught up in the whole “oh I HAVE to knit that!” thing where it was concerned. That is until I saw this one. And she really hated using lace weight yarn to make it. So I’m not sure if maybe I’m just nuts (possible) or just like to blunder in to doing projects that defeat me (likely!) – but now I think I’ve gone from catching the dishcloth flu to catching the Clapotis…because I cast on my merino lace yarn and started this baby soon after I stumbled across her project on Ravelry.
