My ball band dishtowel is finally finished. I've been working on it for awhile now. You definitely do not get the instant gratification of knitting a dishcloth when knitting a towel, but it is definitely worth the extra effort. I can't wait to try it out. This will be great for doing all my hand washing of dishes and pots and pans. It's nice and big and I really think it will be very absorbant. I cast on 90 stitches and made 33 ball bands in total. That's twice the width of of a dishcloth and about 2 and 1/2 times the length, which equals about five dishcloths. The yarn I used was Peaches and Cream shaded pastels (pink, blue and mint green) and white. Now I can concentrate on bigger and better things.

Wow - I love the Mason-Dixon pattern book and have made the burp towel and bib set for a friend having a little one. I love the dish clothes too and have been thinking I need to make one. Your dish towel is wonderful. How many stiches did you cast on?

I cast on 90 stitches. This makes a big towel 19x23". Some where I read ( after I made mine, but can't remember where) you can cast on a multiple of 6 and make a towel any size you want.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your towel. I know I love mine for my side board. No more terry cloth for me!
Thanks for the info hakucho.
