Spring Cleaning

I used to think that knitted dish-cloths were a waste of time - why would anyone want to spend hours making something so boring? But then, a few years ago, I had some cotton yarn leftover from a summer cardigan project that was marketed as 'dish-cloth yarn' and I decided I might as well use it up by knitting a dish-cloth.

It was a revelation. The original knitted dish-cloth lasted for ages and kept its lovely colour. I vowed that there would be no more grey and shredded dish-cloths for me!

To mark the start of spring, I've just made some new dish-cloths in lovely, zesty colours. Can't wait to do the washing-up!
