Dish Cloth knitting

The kitchen sponge died a tragic, holey, greasy death. I didn't have any others to use, so what is a girl to do....knit cotton dish cloths of course. This is the first one, which is now being used in the kitchen. The are great things, look good, and great for the environment as you just throw them in the wash and you have a nice clean cloth to use over and over.

I was gifted a few balls from USA. I had knitted some dish cloths a long while ago, which now get used in the laundry. For these cloths I found a nice pattern on Ravelry called the spinning wheel pattern. It is so easy to knit and in no time at all I had made 4. The first one is being used in the kitchen the other 3 are pictured here.
I haven't knitted anymore on the shawl the last few days, but tonight I did 2 rows and that took nearly 1 1/2 hours, it is slow going from now on, and I like to finish a row before putting it down.

Oh what lovely dischcloths. I use them for facewashers, but I just can't bring myself to wipe up with them. Strange, isn't it??
Those last rows on shawls are killers!!!

That's a great dishcloth pattern. I used to have a knitted dishcloth, until my husband cleaned the knife a bit too vigourously, and sliced it to bits. You've inspired me to knit another!
