I`ve chosen to make a dish cloth this week. I already know how to knit and mummy had bought me some 100% cotton to knit with a while ago. Although none of us remember Laura or her family knitting a dish cloth, we thought it would make a lovely colourful addition to our Little House (it ‘s orange!). It is made of real cotton wool and will hang from a hook in the house. I put 32 stitches on the needle and using knit stitch, made a square dish cloth:

This dish cloth will be used by L10 (Mrs Ingalls) and me (Mary Ingalls) to clean the dishes, but first we will use it to cover our sour dough starter for making a loaf of sour dough without dried yeast. It is perfect for this because it is loosely knitted:

Well Done C! 🙂
Thank you, Emma!
Those cotton knitted dish cloths are great to use – and I love the vibrant orange 🙂
Thank you. I’m not sure if they had vibrant orange but I really like the colour!
Oh, I wish you lived near us. Katie has tried to learn knitting from a book, but has been unable to learn it, and I don’t know anyone who knits to teach her. You are so fortunate to have such a talented mommy. I really love your dishcloth, even the lovely orange color. I am sure you will enjoy using it.
Thank you. Mummy didn’t teach me how to knit, I learnt it from a dvd. I would be very willing to send it to Katie if she would like me to.
Wow! Great job. Love the beautiful orange color!!
Thank you. I like the orange colour too!
That’s very pretty. I like the vibrant orange colour – very summery!
Thank you! Everyone seems to like the orange colour! You’re right it is very summery!
I have never been able to learn to knit, so I always find knitting impressive. Great job!
Thank you so much. I learnt to knit by watching a dvd which came from a knitting magazine mummy bought me.
Your cloth looks nice. I know how to knit too. I’m excited to see what you’re going to do next.

Hello Reese, we’re hand sewing curtains for the upstairs window, I think. Do you enjoy to knit as well?
I like your orange dish cloth. And I was learning how to knit. I hope your sour dough bread turned out nice. I’m excited to hear from you if you will sleep in the playhouse.

We’re trying to persuade mummy at the moment. She doesn’t think there is enough room but we are convinced there is!!
Oh well done! I love knitting! It’s a very lovely hobby to have and the more stitches and techniques you learn, the more you will be able to make for yourself and your home one day! I love, love, love that vibrant orange! Such a happy colour! If you ever have any knitting questions I shall be more than happy to help!
Thank you! I will definitely come to you if I have any questions!
