New Techniques Dishcloths - September/Don't Be Squ

This swap will be one of a series, intended to help all of us learn some new skills or hone some old ones. Each month will be a theme:

• January - Motifs (designs in knits and purls)
• February - Cables
• March - Lace
• April - Slipped stitch
• May - Pick up & knit
• June - Entrelac
• July - Increase & Decrease
• August - Tawashi
• September - Don't be square!
• October - Illusion
• November - Bobble
• Other months TBA!

You will knit one dishcloth to send to one partner. It will be based on the month's theme - this month is DON'T BE SQUARE!. You should use kitchen cotton to knit a usable dishcloth at least 5x5 inches or larger using a pattern that makes a shape other than a square. Examples include:

Pinwheel This pattern uses short rows.

Lacy round

Round cloths

Feel free to use the above patterns or find other free ones at Knitting Pattern Central or on Ravelry.

You must be a member of the Knitters R Us Group to participate. A rating of 4.85 or better is required. Newbies are welcome, IF you PM me first AND have a completed profile. I will angel this swap if someone flakes. Washcloths should be fun, not stressful. This is an international swap, as postage should be small.
