first I chose the cottons I wanted
then gave them a little twist, to see how they would look when plyed
tied all three strands to the leader yarn on my bobbin
then began to ply them together, by pedalling the wheel in an anticlockwise direction, and allowing the cottons to twist across one another
when the bobbin was full, I wound the yarn into a hank and washed it, to set the twist
pattern used -
- Wishy Washy Dishcloth by Lisa Gentry
- found in Hooked For 30 Days e-book
yarn used -
- recycled cotton, plyed as above
hook used -
- 5.0mm hook
- nice design, but I prefer a more solid fabric for my dishcloths
- maybe it's my imagination, but I see little butterflies in the pattern... do you???
- see the head at the top... the puff stitch forms the body, and the two pairs of wings?

Oooo~ I see the butterflies too! But it's much more obvious in the full shot of the whole thing.
I like the colours you chose =]
Hello!
Like the color combinations.
Much beauty work to see in your blog
I totally see the butterflies! That is really neat. Happy accident?
I also bought the 30 days e-book. I can't wait to finish up one of the projects I'm working on so I can get started on one of those!
I love the colors you plyed together. I love the discloth too.
I like the plying. Very clever :-) And the colours look great together.
I didn't see the butterflies - I was looking and looking, and then I saw them. Cool optical illusion.
thank you all
