I learned to knit a couple of months ago. Yep. Feeling downright domestic. So I though it would be kind of fun to make knitted washrags for some folks (including family members) for Christmas this year. Here’s the first one:
Cast on 30 or so stitches, size 8 needles, worsted weight cotton yarn, and knit knit knit until it looks like a dishrag then cast off. Easy, right? Well, it only took me 5 HOURS to finish it. Way back like 10 years ago when I had a job I think I made around $13/hour (of course I’m worth far more than that now), but using those figures this here dishrag is worth around $65.00! That’s quite the dishrag there. I ended up using it and my kids call it the “special washrag”. As in, “Can I wipe the table with the special washrag?” I’ve made a couple more since, but it’s not speeding up much, so, dear family and friends, if you get a dishrag from me for Christmas you better LOVE IT! And don’t be using it to wash your dishes either! I want it framed so when I come visit I can admire all my hard work. :)
