Knit Dishcloth Patterns
You may have noticed that my blog has suddenly gotten a new look. It\’s not a mistake. I\’m going to attempt a massive makeover of the entire Designs by Emily website. The first step will be getting the blog portion set up. You will (I hope) begin to see a shopping cart set up in …
I am very excited to announce that the newest Dishcloth Calendar has been released for sale today!! Every year for the last several years, Janet Nogle has gathered together patterns from dishcloth designers and has put together a wonderful calendar devoted mostly to dishcloths, and including other patterns for the home. I was very pleased to …
Well, not a lot of knitting, that\’s for sure! But, it\’s been on my mind. And I do want to do another Challenge. But before I do a challenge, I really, really need to get the Free patterns/KALs squared away for the next several months. I think I will not start the Challenge until at …
But I just had to take a little break after the Challenge. On top of all that, it took me about most the week last week to get my head under control. You all are so nice to ask about my headaches. I\’ve finally gotten them back under control and I hope they stay that way. …
I\’m sorry to announce this, but I\’m giving up the challenge. I really enjoyed this challenge and it got me knitting and designing and thinking about dishcloths every day. But on the other hand, I\’ve been knitting and designing and thinking about dishcloths every day for not only the last three weeks, but also the …
Challenge Day…. on hold Well, this could be it. I don\’t have a cloth ready. It\’s 8:30 at night and I don\’t have one knitted, or even half knitted. It is cast on with two rows done though. I really don\’t want to stop the challenge!! But I don\’t think I can keep up. I really …
Challenge Day 21 Thanks to everyone for the kind words about my headaches. I\’ve had migraines since childhood, I believe, but they weren\’t diagnosed until I was in college. I take a couple of medications for a couple of things with my head and recently I suggested to my doctor that maybe I could try …
Challenge Day 20 I won\’t go into a whole lot of details why, but I\’ve been having a lot of troubles over the last several days with my headaches and so that has really put a crimp in my knitting plans. I managed to finish the cloth today near dinnertime and was waiting impatiently all …
Challenge Day 19 Wow! I really can\’t believe that I\’ve been at this for 19 days. I know that some of you are probably wondering how long I intend to keep this up. I had always hoped to keep it going for 4 weeks. I figured that would be a respectable length of time. If …
Challenge Day 18 If I type fast, I just might squeeze this post in before noon, which will be a major accomplishment given that I\’ve been posting near 11:00 pm the last several nights. Here\’s a picture of the pattern I just added to the website: It\’s a Christmas Stocking and the cloth that I …
Challenge Day 17 I\’ve been knitting whenever I can and I managed to get about a cloth and a half knit today. So I have a new one to add for today, one all set for tomorrow and I\’m halfway finished knitting another cloth. I\’ve got a little breathing room for a couple of days …
Challenge Day 16 After a wild day of trying to knit while having all three boys home, I\’ve managed to get two cloths ready. So at least I have a little breathing room going into tomorrow. And as soon as I\’ve posted this, I\’ll be knitting as fast as I can for the rest of …
Challenge Day 15 Today\’s pattern is a different one for me. I\’ve had this one planned out since I first began designing dishcloths, but I was never able to get it to look right. I spent a while tweaking it, and now I really like the way it looks. Here\’s a picture: It\’s a pair …

Challenge Day 14 I completely almost forgot to add a pattern today! I\’ve had a really busy day running errands and I nearly forgot to add a pattern before I went to bed. So quickly, here is the newest pattern: It\’s an octopus, to go along with the Whale and the Seahorse from the last …
Challenge Day 13 Just a quick post tonight. I\’ve had a migraine most of today and so I\’m not feeling so hot. This is the pattern that I\’m really pleased with. It\’s an acorn, but what is different about it is that I\’ve used both garter stitch and seed stitch in the design. I think …
