Odds and Ends

| dishcloths made with scraps September 2016 |
I made a smaller version of the cloth, made for the swap - details here - as well as some traditional diagonal cloths.
I tried a "new to me" yarn joining technique, and it is not only easy but seems to be stable, too. It's called the Magic Knot or Double Knot join - see a video below. I was skeptical about using knots, but honestly they really can't be seen or felt. I would not use the technique on a pair of socks because the knot may cause irritation when worn.
I love your cheery dishcloths!
ReplyDeleteThat yarn joining video (and concept) is amazing. I mean, AMAZING!!
Love your scrappy dishcloths - really pretty and a great idea (hope I can remember). I had just read/seen a video on the double knot join last week...I'll have to give it a try on my own dishcloths. I agree that I wouldn't want to use it on socks...am wondering if I could use it on the shawl (still struggling with the yarn joins on that).
ReplyDeleteLoved the demonstration and the cloths are nice too.
ReplyDeleteI've been working on scrappy washcloths, too. Might have to give that knot a try.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of that knot before but I've never tried it. I definitely will now. Thank you for that video. I have a whole bin full of 1/4 balls of dishcloth yard. As soon as I finish a few gifts I'm working on I want to start some scrappy dish cloths too. Yours look wonderful.
