Michael’s Textured Knit Dishcloth Class

Dishcloths are a great way to learn a new stitch or technique without having a large project. Use your finished knit dishcloth around the house or to give as gifts. This is a perfect project to stock up on and give out when you need a little gift. Working with Michael’s craft stores you can take an online class with mean to learn how to make this textured knit dishcloth.

If you joined the live class with me you will know that we had some issues with the video being the wrong direction. I went and recorded the making of the knit dishcloth/washcloth again and loaded the video to my YouTube channel. Check out the video here along with all of the links that we talked about in the live event.
