Here's what they look like now, after a year of hard use:
Now, granted, the pictures were not taken under the same conditions, because we've moved since then and I used a different camera. But it's clear they are well-worn and well-loved. I launder all my dish towels and warshcloths on hot, which has taken its toll along with the dishwater and the scrubbing.
I can't understand why some people, like my mom, consider knitted dishcloths too heavy and thick for washing dishes. I'm glad she told me that, though, so I don't waste time making them for her. I'm slow and distractable enough when I'm making things people actually want.
