Maybe I'll use these to do dishes .... naaah!

I made several new knitting friends on my field trip, and one of them had a really great dishcloth pattern on Ravelry under her handle, shyannlindy.  I did a couple, and then, being me, had to mess with it to see how the formula works out for smaller cloths.  It worked so well that I am likely to try it out with more stitches and make a table-topper for my round dining table.

The larger cloths are made with the original pattern of 20 cast-on stitches, the smaller pink is with 17 cast-ons and 7 wedges instead of 6, and the peach and mint with 14 cast-on stitches.  These are such mindless knitting that they have become addictive, and I'm having to physically restrain myself from grabbing cotton yarn while I watch TV!  But I have to, because I have so much beautiful roving to spin up and so much yarn stashed to do other fun and interesting projects, and I can't stop on these.  But they would be nice hostess gifts to knit up while you sit and visit with friends.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday, and one of my LYS proprietors opens and runs special sales.  It is the only Sunday all year that she opens, and she has a football for you to throw at a target to see what percentage off you get on your purchase.  I'm a terrible thrower, so I'll have to post later about how that came out!
