Here is the lineup
Two things are motivating me with this KAL. One fascination with how different this one stitch plays out with different numbers and types of yarn And two, after a hiatis in making dishcloths I’m motivated once again to build up a supply for future gift giving. I’ll probably go back to some of my former patterns, especially the two color ones as well. I did start one more tricolor this morning, but may not finish during this KAL because I have a couple WIPs to get back too. It’s been fun.
Tri-color cloth finished and I’m pleased with the result. Might start one
more as now I’m curious how it will work out if one of the strands is a long gradient. As always there will be more photos on Instagram. Elsiemarley22
IIt got really nice. Love the way the colors pool.
I finished number 3 with three strands. I spent most of the day knitting. The colors are much brighter than the picture. I really like it.
Well, I didn’t get nearly as far as I‘d hoped, BUT I have a 3-year-old who spent the day in big girl undies and stayed dry, so...I‘m calling it a,win!
Wow! This is working up nicely . Amazing how different this looks from the two color. It’s like a whole new stitch. Love the honeycomb look!
Nice spring colors!
A start has been made.
Oh, thanks I guess I was just trying to figure it out in my head instead of hands on. LOL. I’ll give it a go, I like the looks of it.😉

Yesterday's winner of a free Wylde & Plumb pattern is...
Carla! Let me know which pattern you'd like to have!
Today we're starting the 3-color washcloth, or continuing to work on whatever you're working on! I wasn't sure in the beginning if I'd made the schedule a little too draconian, but everyone seems to be getting along just fine. Let us know if you're having any trouble. I've seen a few questions and pictures over at Instagram, but it's harder for me to keep track of those.
Just a reminder that we have today and tomorrow, then a break day on Sunday (because I'll be driving ten hours back to home after a lovely week with my folks), and then the last day will be Monday.
Happy Knitting! (And welcome, again, to jugglesleep!)
Welcome to jugglesleep! So glad you could join us, and it looks like you've got Linen Stitch down! Have you used this stitch before?
Playing around with some single color stripes this time. Designing as I go, Rather improve and not symmetrical
.
Love the Mapling Shawl!
Almost done. I’ll have to finish tomorrow.
It looks fine, not sure a perfect square is that essential. Love the way the colors worked out.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2020: Yesterday's winner is... Elsie! (Melrod2240) Please choose a book from Maria Keffler's bookshelf on Amazon. The download will come via Smashwords (Amazon doesn't make it easy to give free books away-- greedy buggers), but choose any one from this page: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=maria+keffler&ref=nb_sb_noss
Today we'll finish up the two-color washcloth (or whatever one you're working on!). It's so much fun to see all the beautiful washcloths coming off everyone's hooks!
Sorry I've been MIA today. I'm at my parents' in northern Indiana, and the cell service here is spotty. My folks' WiFi was acting up today too, so I've had trouble getting connected.
I love what you're all doing! It's so much fun to see these beautiful washcloths coming off your needles!
I'll post today's winner in the morning (provided the Wi-Fi lets me!) and Nic I'll get that pattern to you in the morning as well. Shut my laptop off for the night already!
Sleep well, knit well, friends!
Beautiful! I love that!
Getting a jump on Christmas with this combo.
I like the effect of the stripe yarn.
So many choices. Can you guess which color combo I’ll cast on next?
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2020. Yesterday's winner is... Nicole! Check out the patterns in the KNIT Patterns & CROCHET Patterns links above and pick out one you'd like to have! Today we start the two-color washcloth, if you're up to that point and haven't started it yet. You'll cast on in color A, work one WS row in that color, then switch to color B and work two rows, then back to color A for two rows, etc. This makes a sort of tweedy/herringbone kind of pattern.
Looking forward to seeing more pictures! If you're having any troubles at all, please let the group know so we can help you out. And if you know anyone else who would like to join in, they can jump in any time! Ready... set... GO!
Done except for the bind off. I’m using Brittany Birch needles size 6. Now to finish my wine. :)
Oooh yay! Thanks! I’ll go take a look.
Ooh can't wait to see
I like the solid color.
Not sure why my previous photo turned sidewise No matter. Here is my yarn for another caston this evening. Think I have the rythem down now and proceed more smoothly.
Finished my first — know there are a few missteps where my hands went into auto pilot and did a pearl instead of a slip. For more photos see my Instagram account. Elsiemarley22
This is not related to the Knit Along. My picture of the crocus made the state news!
Just an interesting tidbit, the Linen stitch seems to be in none of my pattern books. Interesting 🙄🤔❣️
Yep! You can just download it from the link in a comment above (with the picture of the front page of the pattern). As long as the link is there it's available for free!
Hi Marley, and welcome! That yarn is gorgeous too! I can't wait to see how everyone's washcloths come out. I love how the multi-color Linen Stitch makes such interesting color patterns.
This is the yarn for the washcloth I am starting today.
I'm in for this!
Thank you! Please do spread the word and the love!
Sounds like a good weekend project and I love learning new stitches. I’m in!
Is everyone getting their yarn ready? The pattern will be available here Friday (Originally this post read "tomorrow", but I was a day ahead of myself-- sorry!)!
Three days to go...
Getting excited about this one! Just a few more days!
It's been suggested that the schedule might be a little too ambitious. Maybe so. But we're not going to worry about keeping up with the Joneses, or with the Junes, Janes, or Joanns. Everyone can plug along at their very own speed!
So cute!
I agree!
Autocorrect is horrible! I quote something I read on Facebook: "Whoever invented autocorrect should burn in hello." 😆
Did I mention I’m an iffy texter? Lol
Everyone can make as many as they'd like! One is fine, 30 is fine! 😘
I am joining. I don’t know if I will be able to make three.
