DISHCLOTHS

I haven't knitted much lately, but I had fun making these little dishcloths as a quick and easy project.  My inspiration was a handknitted dishcloth we have had in our kitchen for a long time that my husband brought home from Labour and Wait, a beautiful shop he visited on a business trip to London.  After finding a nice pattern online, I bought some very cheap yarns ($1.25-$3 a skein) that I ended up loving; Red Heart Eco-Ways Bamboo wool (55% bamboo, 45% wool) and The Original Sugar 'n Cream (100% cotton).  It was nice to see that it was possible to find a few quality yarns hidden within all of that horrible acrylic at big craft stores like Michael's.  A good thing to know!
