I wanted to share a little bit of my latest obsession with you all. Today, it is a humble dishcloth. It is the very first pattern I tried (Thank you, Rhonda K. White, for sharing this free pattern). For a beginner who is trying out anything new, the success of a first tentative project spurs one on to further dive into that activity, and that's what this little dishcloth did for me.
This paw-print dishcloth is made of 100% cotton yarn, and the color is called "jute". It made me very happy to make something with my own hands that can be actually used everyday! This dishcloth is very absorbent, can be rinsed off and reused dozens of times, and will happily save tons of paper towels in the kitchen.
And the randomly chosen winner is Mamatha!!! Congratulations :)
Mamatha, please e-mail me your address and I will send your tiny gift along in 2-3 days.
Many thanks to everyone who played along; I certainly hope I had enough dishcloths for everyone. But there will be more giveaways this summer (knitted goodies as well as books) so stay tuned!
Ohhh - I love it in jute Nupur! Include me please :)
ReplyDeleteEverything about this dishcloth is perfect - the neat knit, the pattern, the colour! :D Way to go, Nupur! I wish we had cotton knitting yarn here so I could knit the whole year round too!
ReplyDelete:) been a lurker for a while, love your recipes. Now this new dimension of yours intrigues me all the more. Delurking, will promise to swear by it everyday if I do get it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy memorial day weekend

Hey Nupur,
ReplyDeleteThat's nothing short of Masterpiece,considering that u have picked up knitting just recently.
I wud love to include my name,but i can't use it in kitchen as dishcloth.....c'mmon who cud have a heart to use and spoil it.I wud rather like to frame it and preserve forever;-)
Get well soon and take care
That's such a cute cloth! I would definitely use that; it's too sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and of course, the paw print! I did not know there was cotton yarn. Perfect washcloth material!
ReplyDeleteHey nupur, good to read thru ur latest posts and the new hobby certainly looks therapeutic,,,,all the patterns just look oh so pretty. It would be all the more fun enjoying them in the kitchen. Sabudana thalipeeth and tamarind dip is something im certianly going to try, but im just waiting for the first rains out here,,it would make the dish a lil more special!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers
raakhee
Nupur, I have been trying to reduce the use of paper towels in the kitchen. It would be an honour to receive this dish cloth from you. So please include me. :)

ReplyDeleteHey Nupur,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see the way you have creatively evolved with cooking, creativity and kitchen wonders. I have been diligently following your blogs since A-Z series of Marathi dishes.
I am hoping to get the kitchen cloth, best of all appreciate the hard work and talent which has gone in the making. The homely feel if out of world.
Thanks,
Ashwini.
Pick me pick me !
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are feeling much better!

ReplyDeleteNupur,
ReplyDeleteI loved the pattern. Are there any websites you would suggest for a beginner..
Thanks.
Great idea, Nupur! I love the usefulness, the pattern, the color, but most of all, the fact that you made it yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks ... Anne
hi Nupur :
ReplyDeletewow! nupur! i would treasure that Dish cloth as a work of art !
Here is a quote for you :
Everybody tells me that they would love to knit, but they don't have time. I look at people's lives and I can see opportunity and time for knitting all over the place. The time spent riding the bus each day? That's a pair of socks over a month. Waiting in line? Mittens. Watching TV? Buckets of wasted time that could be an exquisite lace shawl. ~Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much
love and hugs
Very cute dishcloth; love the paw print on it! My furkid Reba would approve!
ReplyDeleteI solemnly vow to use the dishcloth in my kitchen :-]
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your achievement! I'm in for the giveaway!!!! :D:D:D
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute!I have some yarns beckoning me....but I don't have the patience.
