Domino effect
My SP10 spoiler, Pixie, gave me a terrific book called Domino Knitting, by Vivian Hoxbro. I had mentioned the technique in a post but didn’t know much about it. I finally got around to trying the technique last week when I got together to knit with some friends. I decided to use good ol’ dishcloth cotton and cast on twenty-five stitches. I started with one square…
…and then decided to start a dishcloth (for my “Dog Days of Summer” Dishcloth Swap partner) using the technique. I’ve got one square (of nine total) to go, and once I add the border the result will be a bit larger than a standard dishcloth, I think. I guess it will just make the recipient extra clean!
YAY! I’m glad you used the book!
Fun! It is always nice to learn new techniques.
The dishcloth is awesome! Love the pic of Sylvia as well.
I love domino’s. I have been slowly working on a afghan out of them. Its very very slow going as I am using sock yarn. But I love the effect it has.
Happy knitting
