In Praise of the Dishrag

I finished the dishcloth I was making (see previous post) and I am astounded at how much nicer it is than my old store-bought ones. It is thick and textured and very absorbent. I haven't had the heart to use it on a dish yet, but I've been using it for a hand towel and pot holder and discovered that it works well in those capacities too. I should call it the everything kitchen rag. I am for sure going to make more, and soon. It really knit up quick, its just that in between working on it I made another hat for Caps for a Cure and knitted a scarf for my boss. I had a yard sale this past weekend and so I used the time between customers to finish it. Several people asked me how much I wanted for my yarn! My husband said I would have done the same. He's probably right!
