New Techniques Dishcloths - August/Tawashi

This swap will be one of a series, intended to help all of us learn some new skills or hone some old ones. Each month will be a theme:

• January - Motifs (designs in knits and purls)
• February - Cables
• March - Lace
• April - Slipped stitch
• May - Pick up & knit
• June - Entrelac
• July - Increase & Decrease
• August - Tawashi
• September - Don't be square!
• October - Illusion
• November - Bobble
• Other months TBA!

You will knit one dishcloth to send to one partner. It will be based on the month's theme - this month is TAWASHI. You should use kitchen cotton to knit a usable dishcloth at least 5x5 inches or larger using a pattern that makes a cloth/scrubbie that is in the shape of something. Examples include:

Fishy tawashi

Ball band

More scrubbies

Feel free to use the above patterns or find other free ones at Knitting Pattern Central or on Ravelry.

You must be a member of the Knitters R Us Group to participate. A rating of 4.85 or better is required. Newbies are welcome, IF you PM me first AND have a completed profile. I will angel this swap if someone flakes. Washcloths should be fun, not stressful. This is an international swap, as postage should be small.
