Autumnal Socks
I tried a new sock knitting pattern for this pair. I can't find a link to the pattern download, it was by Reiga and I assume it was a free download form somewhere that I neglected to keep a note of.
I found the pattern more difficult to follow than the one I usually use and the socks came out baggier with a heel that seems a little awkward and "sticky out".
I'll be going back to my usual vintage Patons knitting pattern.
But that yarn, now that's just gorgeous!! I love the intricate self patterning design. It was lovely to see it grow beneath my fingers.
Shout out to the lovely lady at Whitby Crafts https://www.facebook.com/WhitbyCrafts who helped me pick it out and colour match the solid contrasting yarn.
The yarns are Funny Feetz in Colour FZ01- https://www.jamescbrett.co.uk/yarn/funny-feetz
And Truly Wool Rich 4 Ply by Cygnet Yarns - https://www.cygnetyarns.com/truly-wool-rich-4-ply
I'm really happy with both yarns so far.
Winter Wine Jumper
Knitted in size XL - far too big!!!
Himalaya Everyday Ekose 241-06
Himalaya Ceylan DK 80950
Started 23-10-2020
Finished before 31-12-2020
Cast off hem too tightly.
Anti piling yarn is fabulous, well worth the money. The colours are great but I wish I'd have made more of the plaid self patterning yarn. The shaping in the sweater breaks the pattern.
I may rip out and knit into something else.
The plain DK yarn is cheap and cheerful. bobbling terribly. Don't buy again.

Dishcloth Knickers - Free Knitting Pattern
A fun and functional cute gift idea that’s
super easy to knit yourself.
Buy Handmade Dishcloth Britches
If you're
in a hurry and need last minute gift these dishcloths are available
to buy through my NuMonday shop along
with many of my handmade crafts.
How to Knit Your Own Dishcloth
Britches
If you'd like to make your own hand knitted dish
cloths then you're in luck, I'm giving away my pattern completely free of
charge.
The knitting pattern is perfect of beginners. It uses only knit and pearl stitches to
create the lovely bumpy texture.
This is quite a small knitting project so it’s
ideal for using up leftover bits of yarn.
I keep mine in my bag ready for anytime I have to
wait around anywhere. It’s such a small
project I can tuck the ball into my pocket and knit stood in line on the school
run. It’s amazing how those few minutes
here, there and everywhere can add up to a whole dishcloth.
Scroll down for the free knitting pattern.
The Poem
The little note included with these dishcloth
knickers reads:
Now don't get excited
And don't be misled
These aren't for you
But for the dishes instead
Just pull on the bows
Take out the stitches
You've gained two dishcloths
Instead of your britches.
What's So Great about Hand Knitted
Dishcloths Anyway?
Not just great for a laugh, hand knitted dishcloths
are far superior to their machine made modern equivalents. The extra
thick bumpy, lumpy texture is perfect for scrubbing tough stains from your
pans.
In The Bathroom
They are also fantastic in the bathroom, gently
exfoliating even the most sensitive skin.
Use them to wrap an expensive soap for a beautifully presented gift.
Sophisticated Home Decor
These dish rags will make the perfect accent for
any kitchen be it modern or traditional. There'll be no need to hide
these away when guests arrive. Although I totally admit to leaving a set
of mine tied together because they make me smile every time I see them.
The Perfect Gift
Such a delightfully simple luxury makes a perfect
housewarming gift, particularly with its hilarious presentation. What
better way to show someone how much you care about them than a little luxury
they'll appreciate every single day.
Great for the Environment
Instead of the short lived modern equivalents these
dishcloths will last years and years. And I really do mean it, mine are
just over 10 years old and still going strong. They have been re-used
thousands of times making them exceptionally Eco-friendly.
Completely hand knitted from durable 100% cotton
yarn.
Each dishcloth measures a generous 8" / 20 cm
square.
How to Care for Your Knitted Dishcloths
These dish cloths are super easy to care for, just
pop them in the washing machine along with your normal washing. They'll
survive a boil wash if you wish but modern washing machines do a great job of
cleaning most fabrics at much lower temperatures making it easy to save
energy. They'll be quite happy in your dryer too although I usually don't
bother drying mine, they generally get used damp so I figure why bother drying
them, I just pop them next to my sink ready to grab the next time one of my
kids spills - so three seconds after they come out of the wash. They're
super quick to air dry if your household isn't in a messy season of life.

Free Knitting Pattern

cloths then you're in luck, I'm giving away my pattern completely free of charge.
Happy dishcloth knitting!!
Supplies You’ll Need
Use 4mm needles and 100% cotton DK weight yarn
You can really customise the look of your Dishcloth
Britches with your choice of ribbon. We
have a huge range to choose from at Simply
Crafting.
Cast on 40 stitches
Knit the first two rows
Then knit in pattern as follows:
K2, (K2 P2) x 9, K2
K2, (K2 P2) x 9, K2
K2, (P2, K2) x 9, K2
K2, (P2, K2) x 9, K2
Until length measures almost the same as the width.
Knit the last two rows.
Cast off in knit.
How to Assemble Your Knitted
Dishcloth Britches
Fold each dishcloth in half, length ways and place
them side by side so that the edges meet. Weave a ribbon through the top
of them both tying a bow in the centre. Weave ribbon around the bottom of
each "leg" and tie. Use a little leftover yarn to attach the
two cloths together in the middle with a little bow.
The Poem
If you'd like to include the little card and poem
you can download this image and print it out.
