Thank you for sharing! I can't help but tease though, that I am glad D also stands for dishwasher. :) Seriously, I have a hotpad crocheted by my great-great grandmother made of ordinary white cotton, and because she made it, and I never knew her, it is a treasure.

I love dishcloths. I'm slowly converting my family to them - my mother is currently bugging me for more. Great D entry! I love dishcloths.

They are always a visible hug even in the midst of everyday chores. Some of my favorites are the ones made from all the leftovers! Thanks for keeping my stash full...LOVE YOU I am so spoiled by handmade dishcloths…I used to hoard them when we lived far away from your grandma.

I have yet to knit one but I hate the cheap cloths I use to wash dishes. They start to fall apart after only a few washings and I know that knit ones would hold up so much better and make cleaning so much nicer. I really should knit some. I don't know what's holding me back. Oh my goodness, I need knit dishcloths!! I have yet to knit one but I hate the cheap cloths I use to wash dishes.

If I ever finish John's sweater, I may indulge again. Which pattern did your Grandmother use? Is it the diagonal dishcloth, a.k.a. "idiot's dishcloth?" Hand knit dishcloths are the best.

They were one of the reasons that I wanted to learn to knit, too. I have been neglecting my dishcloth love, so I need to replenish my stash! I love your ode to the dishcloth and agree with you 100%.
