Who knew that dishcloths (washcloths) could be so fun to make? The Mason-Dixon Knitting authors are very inspiring. I saw a mens’ knitting book that recently referred to these household items as “utility cloths,” which amused me greatly. Doesn’t this “warshrag” look so much more manly now that you know it’s a utility cloth? (But seriously, it solves the problem of calling it a dishcloth/washcloth/washrag/face cloth/spa square/whatever.)
