Kitchen Item KAL/CAL! This is the thread for the dishcloth-along which got turned into more of a general kitchen item-along. It will not have a specific end date like most of our other -alongs do. This thread will just stay up as long as people are making kitchen items and since they are a pretty common thing to make, I figure it will be here a while. Feel free to join in anytime, even if you can't post pictures. You can always post a link to the pattern you are using or just update us on your progress.

You know what guys? I totally got dishcloths confused with potholders! LMAO! I meant potholders, that is what I'm making. But I can make a dishcloth too. Maybe this should just be a kitchen item-along, LOL! Anyway, I have a glove to finish before I start my potholders but it should be very soon. This is the pattern I will be using: Folded Potholder. I'm going to make at least two, maybe another set depending on how much yarn I have. I also want to make the Skullholders from the book "Stitch 'N b***h Crochet: The Happy Hooker". ( link here if you have Ravelry) And now I guess I will go pick out a dishcloth pattern since I am a moron. LOL

It is cute, huh? I am so not the potholder making type but I really liked it and my in-laws love to cook so I'm going to try it. I bet you could knit the same thing, you can knit in the round right? But can you go back along the other side like that? Hmmm...

I bought a huge thing of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Naturals today that will be perfect for these kitchen projects and I also finally found a Tunisian hook so I can make that one pattern that I found, yay! I'll probably start the potholder in the next few days.

Here's my potholder. Following the pattern it turned out to be 5" square so I have started another one with a longer starting chain. Once I get the size right I will make a set in my Cotton Naturals yarn, yay!

So I finally finished my larger potholder and it turned out exactly the size that I wanted it to be. So now I am going to start a matching set in the natural color yarn for my mother in law. Also, my cousin just got a new place and her birthday is coming up so I might make her some, too! I am using the pattern linked above with a starting chain of 50. I slip stitched this one closed so it would have a little ridge for decoration. I didn't like the way the seam looked on the first one.

Study break = time for picture uploading!  I've been trying to make a bunch of different dishclothes so I give everyone a different one - unfortunatly I didnt take a picture of the one on the needle before I gave it away, but it was nice in the end, it had hearts on it biggrin
