yup! i love lionbrands stitches! i’ve done several clothes from them! The scarf sounds so fun! please post pics when your done!
Arielluria. Love the stitch finder reference. Thanks! I know you’ve put it aside but how are you finding the ‘look’ of the scarf given you’re changing the stitches. Does it look intriguing or higgeldy piggeledy. 
I presume you’re staying in same colour?
Yup, same color. I’ll post a picture and you can decide whether it’s higglety-piglety…you read Opus, don’t you?!? 
It’s a term I grew up with actually so I’m not sure what the source was.
Well, believe it or not my two (only) local yarn shops sell NO cotton yarns at all. The closest thing is a cotton thin ‘yarn’ you use 3mm needles on (so mainly for doilies etc). Compared to the images of wash cloths I’ve seen so far it is totally unsuitable. I can buy acrylic only. I will have to order online but I’m rather amazed. No wool/cotton blends either. I live in a fairly humid climate so I’m surprised!
I like the idea of knitting smaller items but I just am not into knitting dish cloths. :shrug:
I’ve got some cotton in my stash so I’ve decided to try do some dishcloths for presents :mrgreen:
Hah! Send me some cotton! Tapestry Craft in Sydney is where I order most of my yarns if I need to go online.
I love making cotton dishcloths. I love getting them as gifts. I love using them! They are a nice small project that I can actually finish. I’m working on one now, but I messed up the pattern last night, so I have rip out a few rows. 
They make nice gifts, too. We also discovered that the Hobby Lobby that is close to our house, has all the Sugar N Cream colors, too! Woo hoo!
You can take all the ends of balls (most 2 oz balls of cotton make 2 washcloths, and there is some left over )
and mix with a giant 14 ounce ball of a solid, and make a matching bath (or if you use your wash cloths as dish cloths, a kitchen) mat.
work with 2 strands held together, and a size 10or 10.5 needle, cast on between 65 to 85 stitches.
work in garter, 2 rows of solid (14 ounce skein) 2 rows off ‘scrap’ from wash cloth balls–
repeat until you are bored or have used up all your cotton scraps.
see my blog (recent post) for 2 examples. (36 hours and cotton to knitting posts)
Of Troy. I saw someone mentioning bath mats the other day so I’d glad you gave a ‘recipe’ for those. The work on your blog looks great!
thanks!
one is knitted “landscape” (25 inches long row, and about 20 inches of them) the other is knit “portrait” 20 inch long rows, and 26 inches of them.
you could make them larger (or smaller) depending on your stash (and stamina! )
Ahh…you’re using the word processing perspective? I first thought you were being very poetic but I love the analogy! 
I just made 2 dishcloths over the weekend. In fact, I made one for my boyfriend, thinking he’d use it (originally he told me he would) and now, last night, he said he’s just going to keep it in the kitchen. He doesn’t want to ruin it!
I’m hoping to make one for myself this week. I made the other for my mom (thinking of making a few for Mother’s Day for her). Chances are, she won’t use hers either because she doesn’t want to ruin them! Me, I’m going to dive right in & give it a shot!
art photgraphy perspective before it was word processing perspective!
Here’s that sample scarf. I made it kind of narrow because I like really long scarfs, and if they are too wide it becomes too thick when I wrap several times around: Here’s a post about it
I am making some flower washcloths for my mom for mother’s day. She is a spa enthusiast and loves to have luxurious things in the bathroom. So I am going to knit them and then dye them so she can have her own original one of a kind facial cloths. I guess whether it is worth depends on who is going to use them?
By the way, I found this source on ebay for cotton chenille. I received mine this week and it is amazing! Just as nice as the expensive stuff I have, and so affordable!
Arielluria. I like the scarf colour and the changes look good. Very textured in fact. What is the yarn you are using? Not quite all the way but it looks like you’re offering an edging that’s all the same…seed stitch?
CarmenIbanez. Lovely idea. I always like to try and grab some nice lavender stalks and wrap them in something like that. But maybe a nice natural soap or face wash? My health food store (local I mean) has some lovely soaps. One is orange scented (not a nasty scent like some cheap ones are in soaps) and has these little soluble beads all through it so it’s textured and interesting. But they just brought our a range of mango body wash and so on and the bottle is filled with a sort of gel that has bubbles all through it so it looks so lovely for something like a spa. But that’s so nice you’re making something. Last year I did a cross stitch card that my mother really liked.
