Good morning, beautiful knitters!
I only saw photos from Elsie, Carla, & Missy yesterday, is that right? Beautiful work, everyone! Thanks so much for joining in, everyone!
I put Elsie's, Carla's, & Missy's names into www.wheeldecide.com and the wheel of destiny chose...
Missy!
Missy please visit Wylde & Plumb's Etsy page and pick out a Magnetic Bookmark/Line Holder for yourself! Or, since you haven't won a pattern yet, if you'd rather have a free pattern, that's perfectly okay too! You can peruse those up top in the KNIT Patterns and CROCHET Patterns tabs.
This KAL has officially closed! But this thread will remain open, so always feel free to check back in and continue the conversation, or just look back at any of the help posts. The coupon code for taking 25% off any Wylde & Plumb pattern on Etsy is good through the end of today (Feb. 25). That code is LINEN2020. If you see a pattern on this website that isn't on Etsy just let me know and I'll list it. Haven't gotten them all over there yet!
I'm going to take the Linen Stitch Washcloth pattern down (from the February 14 comment, where it was listed for free for this KAL), just FYI.
The next Wylde & Plumb KAL starts up March 1! Please see the link below! Hope you'll pop over and join the thread. Even if you're not able to participate, we love cheerleaders!
Thank you all for participating! You're amazing ladies!

I got one done...Yay! Only took me about 10 tries. It's smaller, I only used 32 sts, and I had to use size 10.5 needles, and it still looks tight. I keep wanting to knit or purl the slipped stitch.
Here is the lineup
Here is my latest. Not sure the long gradient worked all that well.
I posted on Instagram and Facebook. I made 5 Ravelry pages. I had made two cloths before the knit along started. I don know how to add a Ravelry page here.
Sounds wonderful, hope to have something camera worthy by end of day.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2020 Today is the FINAL DAY of our Linen Stitch Washcloth KAL! Please post pictures here of your beautiful finished products or WIPs. Everyone who posts a photo today will be in the running for a Magnetic Bookmark of your choice from Wylde & Plumb's Etsy store!
Looking forward to seeing everyone's beautiful work!
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.
Good morning, all! I'm packing up myself and my girlies and about to hit the road for a nine-hour drive from Indiana to Virginia, but wanted to pop in here and announce the winner from yesterday....
Kasandra! Please pick a pattern you like from the KNIT Patterns or CROCHET Patterns menu above! I'll be out of touch for most of the day but I'll get your selection to you ASAP when I get home!
Have a great day, friends!
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!
I really love the look of the three color version! Constantly juggling the skeins to avoid tangling, not so much, but it’s worth it!
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2020 Friday's winner is...
Elsie! (melrod2024) Please pick out a pattern you'd like from the KNIT Patterns or CROCHET Patterns above! Congrats, and thanks for all the beautiful photos!
Hope everyone is happy with their progress-- it looks like you're doing a beautiful job, and I hope you love the finished products. Three-color Linen Stitch is my favorite, because the pattern is just so intriguing, and I love being able to add in little scraps of yarn to my heart's content.
We'll take a break tomorrow (I'll try to announce the winner here before I get on the road, though! But if you don't hear from me early it's because my morning went awry.) Monday (Feb. 24) will be the last day of this KAL, and the prize for photo entries will be a Magnetic Bookmark/Line Holder (or, if you already have one, a greeting card from Wylde & Plumb).
Have a great day and weekend!
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!
I made it to the half way mark. The picture is a little dark.
A start has been made.
OK then, I’m going to do a three color which I originally thought I was not interested in. But now I’m intriqued! Using three solid colors for my cloth #4.
