Softball Washcloths

I’m planning on knitting some washcloths as holiday gifts this year. Yesterday I was searching the many aisles of WEBS looking for an inexpensive option. I noticed some cones of 2.2 Softball in natural in the warehouse. I wound off a bit and knit up a swatch when I got home. I used a double strand on US 6 needles, tossed it in the washer/dryer and gave it a test run. It did shrink some in the width and a lot in the length (that’s garter stitch for you). But now it’s even softer and squishier.

I really like this yarn. I can’t stop touching my swatch. I think I’ll buy a cone of it today. Did I mention that it’s also really cheap. Maybe I can play around with dying it too.

I’m probably one of the last people to post about Rhinebeck. I’m getting to it. Things are a little busy right now. And I did finish my top-down raglan sweater too, wore it twice already. But I’m planning to go back and make the sleeves a little longer before blogging about it.
