Hoo boy. I’ve kinda been on a bit of a (knitting) bender for the last couple of weeks . . .
It happens.
I find some little . . . thing . . . that I like to knit, and then I can’t seem to stop myself.
This time, it was the Sinkmates Suite collection of dishcloths. I picked a palette of colors . . . and then I just kept knitting various combinations . . . until I ended up with a new stack of dishcloths.
If you click here (the link will whisk you over to my Field Notes for this project), you can read the “tech specs” (details) — and see a few more photos.
And just FYI . . . y’know what made me finally end my dishcloth bender?
Why . . . a whole new kind of bender!
Stay tuned . . .

How about YOU? What are you making this week?
These look great and they seem like they would be really fun to knit! I especially love the green and white striped one, but they’re all interesting. (I’m also interested in your current bender …)
How satisfying, that tidy stack with such neat and consistent edges–and the loops…! I’m what I describe as a rather ‘rustic’ knitter, so I appreciate such consistency in other people’s work.
I still have the burning question, though…how do you keep your knitted dishcloths from getting stinky? This climate challenges me in that department. Thanks in advance if anyone here has light to shed 🙂
Beautiful dishcloths. I bet you love the color coordination of them. Each one a flow from the one before. Love the term “rustic.” Kinda sounds like me sometimes. Seems to depend on the yarn.
Those look fabulous — almost too nice to use! Can’t wait to see what the next bender is …
I’m another one curious about your latest bender – LOL BUT, in the meantime, your Sinkmates are so pretty. I have the pattern…I just need some time…meanwhile I’m plugging away on a sock and a cowl.
That “bender” made a beautiful stack of cloths. Pretty color combo.
I finally picked up my knitting last night, and am so pleased with myself! What finally brought it on? Pre-season hockey on the television machine. Honestly: It’s been months.
Lovely set of dishcloths! I am mostly knitting on a Grandpa Cardigan that I had set aside this summer. I have the sleeves and shawl collar left to finish but I am itching to cast on another sweater soon!
I love them so much! I will be knitting more since I only knit 3 on my last bender.
Those all look great, Kym! I have a collection of Rowan Handknit Cotton for just that purpose, but other things have been occupying my time & needles. I cannot wait to see what your NEW bender is!!
I need to either dig out of the stash or pick up some yarn for these.
Those dish cloths are so pretty. How fun to pick a palette and then play with combinations. This sounds like the best kind of bender.
Lovely! The colors in your palette are perfect! (and I can’t wait to see what your new obsession is!)
LOL – bender to bender to bender … how FUN! and that collection of dishcloths is really fun … and pretty!
