WIP Wednesday: Brought to you by the Spring Break Dishcloths

A couple of years ago I created my own variation on the famous Peaches-n-Creme Ballband dishcloth.  I wrote it up as a pattern and it's on Ravelry.  For free... check it out!  My one and only published pattern!

Whenever life seems too stressful for other kinds of knitting I put one of these on the needles, sometimes with different scraps and bits of cotton yarn, and sometimes even using intarsia.

Sometimes I'll use a different dishcloth pattern altogether.  This is the Linoleum Dishcloth by Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting.  It's a really pretty pattern, but I can't seem to memorize it so I always have to look at the paper.

And I keep coming back to my own pattern.  This much intarsia gets pretty tangly, but it's still a dead-simple knitting pattern and uses up scraps.  I like to have enough dishcloths made to give one to each teacher every year at Christmas.
