This year's Dish Rag Tag required you to do a specific design. It turned out to be a checkerboard in basketweave, so easy to memorize and a great cloth! Also, since we switched to the Priority Mail Small Box, it only fit one ball of yarn, so you didn't have a choice in yarn. Here is mine, ready to be sent to my teammate. Sorry for the poor photo - I forgot my camera and had to use my phone. Couldn't delay mailing it for lack of a camera!
In the foreground are some sheep soaps and an alpaca finger puppet. My next teammate was April (TX) and she reported that her son made off with the puppet. I had trouble parting with it myself.
Pattern: Official Pattern of Dishrag Tag: The Sequel (.pdf)
Yarn: Lily Sugar 'n Cream, in a gorgeous dark brown/tan/white colorway. Coffee and cream...mmm...
Needle: Size 7, Knit Picks Options.
Our team, the Dishrag Divas, is almost done!
I've decided to make a little NICU blanket for Kathy using the Son of Dish Rag Tag official pattern, expanding the middle to 12 squares and going until it's the right length. I have some Lion Wool-ease in sportweight that should make a nice little blankie. It's up next for TV knitting....

Was that finger puppet a dinosaur? No wonder her son run off with it.
It's been awhile since I've knit washcloths. Maybe next Summer I'll make a bunch up for gifts. They make great gifts with handmade soaps.
I want an alpaca finger puppet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You could win a great prize if you send a blanket!
I have gotten 5 so far in the mail. I'll post the prize package later today!
That is one adorable finger puppet! The dishrag is lovely too and the soaps are very cute. I'm not sure I get how they all go together, but somehow they do. And the photo isn't bad at all!
