Knit or Crochet a Dishcloth

I love to knit and crochet. But my first favorite is Knitting. I read your note of joining and making a dish cloth. I am home alone, and do not need pot-holders. What I like to knit is a lovely baby's hat and booties. I use knitting knitting needles for the hat; and use a 12 peg round spool to make the booties. They are both darlling and work well with each other, especiall if using matching yarns. I use #4 yarn and a size 10-1/2 needle. Yes, the needles are that size, and they show the lovely knit, of which you may make different pattern stittches with-in 5" of the hat pattern. I knit 6 rows first to knit the k1, P1 for the 6 rows. I can send the pattern if you would perhapps want it. I learned how to knit when I was 8 years old and attended the School for The Blind in CA.
I enjoyed your messge. Your new friend, MiniQuilt

like MiniQuilt, I learned to knit at a early age too. I sat at my grandmothers knee at 9 and have knit ever since. But at 74 I decided it was time to learn to crochet, so for my 74th birthday I took a class in crocheting, I love it. Now I do both. crocheting is faster, but knitting sweaters is still my favorite.I am 75 now and knitting the ruffled scarves that are popular now and selling them at craft shows. See, You can teach a old dog new tricks!! LOL
