Well, no, do your towels shrink? He wasn't sure, but he did know that he had never heard of knitting dishcloths.
- Pattern from 2007 A Pattern A Day Calendar, June 25, "Lickety Split Cloths and Towels" FYI - The instructions for the items in this pattern are a little vague and general.
- Yarn: Lion Cotton "Sagebrush" - I stopped when I had used half the skein, which is why the dishcloth is a bit rectangular
- Needles: I use US5 for worsted weight cotton because the yarn is so inelastic; I cast on with US7, then switch to the US5 and knit loosely.

Glad you're back!
I get so much eye-rolling and weird comments from dishcloths...I don't get it!
I've been doing quite a few dishcloths lately, and have been getting similar comments. I made a couple out of KnitPicks CotLin and one from cotton chenille (not fun - it breaks easily). People are always saying, "Isn't that a lot of work for a dishcloth?" I just smile and nod at them as if I know they just don't get it...which they don't! :)
