It makes a border around the dishcloth and makes it look a little tidier and prettier when it's finished.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-47937055719819753522012-02-16T19:04:02.153+11:002012-02-16T19:04:02.153+11:00What does it mean when it says to slip a stitch at...What does it mean when it says to slip a stitch at the start of each row?

I love it because it's delightfully soft to work with be plenty tough enough for dishcloths and tea towel tops, handtowel trims etc. <br /><br />In saying that, it's not cheap at $14.99 a 400g ball but that ball will make five or six dishcloths, depending on the size (50 or 60 stitches). <br /><br />It's also available on eBay, and with the strength of the dollar at the moment may be a better deal, although I like to support local yarn shops, they are few and far between.<br /><br />The service from Yarn Over (they used to be American Yarns) is absolutely excellent, I have no hesitation in recommending them.<br /><br />www.yarnover.com.auCath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-26128309975663788752011-07-05T11:00:26.575+10:002011-07-05T11:00:26.575+10:00What a wonderful idea!

I found other cotton blend in 4ply, thought about buying two and knitting them together, but am unsure if this would work. Would appreciate your input.katz5kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117121390289943478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-2857692562528846172011-01-03T09:15:20.761+11:002011-01-03T09:15:20.761+11:00Thanks for this post.
