Almost a Dishcloth - The Nubby Chronicles

After much hand-wringing and ripping out yards and yards of yarn - I finally (almost) made the elusive nubby dishcloth! Almost. Kelly and Donna were nice enough to work through what should have been a simple pattern, to see where I was derailing. I just could not get the rows even. Donna talked me through a couple of phone sessions and I was able to get it worked mostly straight. I still had an issue with the edging - as you'll see, the chain-3 side has rather large holes and when I stitched the border that made that end larger and less square than it should be. So this one I'll keep myself and try out in the kitchen. And now without further ado, I give you...The Nubby.

  1. We have such problems with dishcloths! My first two turned out more like diamonds, long and pointy on two ends. I use them myself, because I was too ashamed even to sell them for a dime in a garage sale. They really do seem to last forever, though.

  2. I have a confession to make - I've never used one. They seem too pretty. Since this one is not perfect, I've decided I'm going to take the plunge and actually get it wet.
