YARNX - FREE Crystal Palace Cotton Chenille
Okay, I'll admit it: I hated knitting washcloths. Hated it. And yes, this yarn is beautiful and I still never want to go near it again as long as I live.
But maybe you do.
So if you'd like to claim 1 skein of #9628 Periwinkle and/or 1 skein of #1015 Natural, now's your time. Stake your claim in Comments and tomorrow night I'll randomly choose a winner. (Assuming more than one knitter out there is interested.)
NEW ADDITION: 1 skein of #1109, Bubble Gum pink.
Did I mention they're FREE FREE FREE, no strings attached?
Warning: washcloths can make you crazy. Better to be given a washcloth hand knit by someone else than to hand knit the washcloth yourself.
A little known knitting truism.

I would love to try knitting a washcloth in Natural if I am the lucky winner.

pick me! pick me! i was very disappointed that i missed your cool stuff giveaway...
Okay, I'll try this again after logging into my new google account. I've knit many dishclothes, but none with this type of luxury yarn. Does it wash and dry well?
Put my name in the random draw too. I have not knit with this yarn, but I hear it makes a very soft wash cloth
Oooh, I love making dishcloths, although I've never done them in anything but the Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. I love how they give me an opportunity to try out new stitches or patterns in a short format. They're kinda like writing a novella. You get to try something new or different and you have the opportunity to do so without the committment of a big book.
Please add my name to the list - I haven't knit a dishcloth yet but...have been sorely tempted by the many I have seen on the blogs.
Oops
I guess it would help if I put my name at the end of the message!!

I haven't used this yarn before. Curious. Add me to the drawing.
I would love to win this yarn. Love the colors.
Dobarah, it washes and dries beautifully. I machine washed and dried the two horrors I knitted up before Christmas and they're softer than soft. The shrinkage factor is maybe 5-10% and it only makes the finished product nicer. (I still hated knitting them.) I recommend that if you go to the trouble to knit this yarn, use it as a washcloth not a dishcloth. Why should your dishes have all the fun??
Oooh! Periwinkle! Pick me! Pick me!
It's been four months since I've knitted a washcloth.
I would love to try to make a washcloth!
I am in!
I want to enter too! I never ever used a knitted washcloth, maybe now I'll try!
This seems really nifty! but I'm probably after the deadline.
I'd like to claim a periwinkle skein! I love knitting washcloths!
I'd love to try knitting a washcloth - they aren't something Kiwis traditonally make. It would be quite a 'novelity' for me. Any colour would be perfect.
I'm going to post this in a separate entry but congratulations to Anonymous Betty, Theresa N, and Periwinkle Cathy (aka Kerowyn's Mom) -- you're the winners! I'll need your snail mail addresses. You can find me at wickedsplitty@earthlink.net -- congratulations again.
