Fancy Rags
My first cables (ish)! A diamond pattern cotton dishcloth. Definately qualifies me for the ‘fancy rags’ award.
I want to make the Cleo Clutch or some variation of it, so that meant biting the bullet and attempting a cable. As with most things it wasn’t as hard as I anticipated. Though I am a spacy knitter and am forever losing track of where I am. I need to work on that.
Yesterday I started working on a test piece for a shibori felting experiment. I will post results as I progress with it. Should be interesting…
All this is in preparation for the arrival of a kilo of Blue Faced Leicester and a load of acid dyes I am eagerly anticpating. counting the days…

i LOVE this dishcloth pattern. where or where did you find it? i want to do some linen handtowels, and those cables would be too cool.

It was in a magazine that I bought ages ago and had sitting around. I could write it out for you if you would like. It is very simple actually.
