What do you do when you have a bunch of warshrags to knit up for a wedding present and only a day to do it? You try a completely new technique that you've never tried before of course!!
I give you the entrelac "dish cloth." (If you use a schmancy technique like entrelac it suddenly becomes a "dish cloth." The pattern actually called it garterlac since it doesn't use stockinette.) It was really fun to try something new knowing that if you messed up, it wouldn't matter since the recipient was simply going to scrub holes in it anyway. I understand entrelac better now but I also understand why it is often referred to as annoying. It looks cool in sugar 'n creme but truly what doesn't look cool in sugar 'n creme. LOVE the kitchen cotton baby!!
What do you do...

Entrelac? I know I know what it is but I can't remember. It's not the one where you make all the little pieces and then sew them together? I do love the color scheme. It's just right for scrubbing dishes.
Entrelac is where you basically knit interlocking diamonds to "build up" the fabric from the bottom. You start with triangles and then fill in with diamonds/squares by picking up stitches and incorporating previous row stitches. Aw that was a horrible description and I really tried! Oh well, I could show you...
That yarn looks great with the pattern. I would wash my dishes any day with that!
