I bet you're getting some of the real stuff where you are right now.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments, and we must think alike. That should not surprise me by now. ;) Smaller washcloths are so much more manageable and easier to knit up.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-11749244407154562112017-01-06T12:53:29.890+10:002017-01-06T12:53:29.890+10:00Apologies for not responding sooner Sherri.

I get many years use from mine.<br /><br />If you do crochet that new dishcloth, I'd love to see a picture. No pressure though. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-35820691780170629752017-01-01T07:41:51.794+10:002017-01-01T07:41:51.794+10:00I love pink but not that particular peachy tone.

That is the same pattern I used for mine in the past. Though I think I have a crochet dishcloth pattern somewhere that I could also try.

I've seen others around too, but I guess I stick with what I know. :)<br /><br />I also bought four balls from Bendigo today, which is equivalent to 8 balls from Spotlight. I especially like how they source their wool from Australia and manufacture it here too. So I like to support those kind of businesses.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-17661510324593639202016-12-10T15:58:18.427+10:002016-12-10T15:58:18.427+10:00Chris, I bought four balls from Bendigo Woollen Mi...Chris, I bought four balls from Bendigo Woollen Mills a few weeks ago before their price goes up. They are good value when you consider the size of the ball and are very good quality. I have had that pattern printed out for years and still haven't given it a go. LOL!

So ...I think my number 9 needles, equates to 3.5mm. So just a fraction smaller than your 4mm. Thanks so much for mentioning Bendigo Woollen Mills though. I did a web search and found their 200g balls of cotton on sale for $11 each.<br /><br />I did a cost comparison with Spotlight's recent cotton yarn sale $6.99 for a 50g balls, and I save about $5, if I were to buy the equivalent amount of weighted balls, from Spotlight. Bendigo is cheaper per gram, and postage is the best I've seen offered yet.<br /><br />I bought some, because I'm planning some Christmas gifts, and was worried my current supply wouldn't cover it. So thanks Jane. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-57247484169632156862016-12-10T13:58:16.156+10:002016-12-10T13:58:16.156+10:00It must be the time for it.

I'm using 4mm needles and have increased the stitch numbers. Mine will end up being a facecloth. I like pink and this cotton is knitting up beautiful and soft. I plan on making a few and adding some to my gift cupboard. I have some guest sized pale pink soaps I made. The two together will make a nice gift for a couple of Birthdays I have coming up in January.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.com
