Sometimes a knitter just needs something Simple! and a Knit Buddy!
I grabbed a few extra balls of Simply Cotton Worsted from our office stash a few days ago. I was determined to knit up a couple of washcloths for myself. I wandered around in Ravelry and found a few examples based on my beloved Log Cabin garter stitch pattern. Who knew that the Mason Dixon Knitters would have such a positive influence on the humble garter stitch.
After a nice wash and dry, the cloths became wonderfully cushiony! If you want to give it a try, cast on 15 stitches and knit 14 garter ridges. Then work the strips with 7 garter ridges each.
I am having a Knit Buddy giveaway to go along with my little bit of simple knitting. Just add a comment to this blog post and you will automatically be in the drawing. Next Thursday, October 29th, I will draw a name. The winner will receive one ball each of Marshmallow, Malted Milk, Ginger and Toffee colors of Simply Cotton Worsted.

I just read that washcloths are better to use in the kitchen than sponges. I'd better get started on one of these right away! Love the pattern.

I just found this site a few minutes ago while doing a google search to find short, small circular needles for my newest passion, socks! Any suggestions?

I love the way your cloths look. I can never look at knitted cloths without thinking of my Aunt Lenora. Each year she made everyone in the entire extended family a cloth for Christmas . She knitted on those all year long. Seeing these cloths makes me miss her at the same time as bringing to mind the loveliest memories of her. Thanks for sharing!
