I think these little fishies are just great!

.

So quick and easy to whip up...

.

You can use them as little kitchen or bath scrubbies...

.

Or you can stitch several together to make a cloth, a towel or even a pretty little bath mat!

PART 5 - Working a Tapered Edge and Fastening Off

Note: if you are wanting to make your piece larger than a dishcloth size you can find the original pattern here where you will find all the instructions for making it larger.

----------------------------------------------------

Things You Need To Know:

• Throughout this pattern I refer to ridges rather than rows. A ridge in garter stitch is two knit rows.

• Where possible, all outside first stitches are slipped to help with the joining. I haven't put this in the instructions so as to simplify them and it's not disastrous if you forget.

• w&t (wrap and turn) is worked like this:

Bring the yarn forward, slip the next stitch purlwise, take the yarn back again, replace the slipped stitch on the left hand needle, bring the yarn forward again and turn the work.

----------------------------------------------------

Begin working a tapered edge immediately after working an 8 stitch ridge from Part 4.

Then work as follows:

K8, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (9sts)

Work one 7 stitch ridge (K7, w&t and knit back)

K7, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (8sts)

Work one 6 stitch ridge (K6, w&t and knit back)

K6, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (7sts)

Work one 5 stitch ridge (K5, w&t and knit back)

K5, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (6sts)

Work one 4 stitch ridge (K4, w&t and knit back)

K4, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (5sts)

Work one 3 stitch ridge (K3, w&t and knit back)

K3, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (4sts)

Work one 2 stitch ridge (K2, w&t and knit back)

K2, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (3sts)

Work one 1 stitch ridge (K1, w&t and knit back)

K1, sl 2, pick up and K1, pass both slipped sts over, turn and knit back. (2sts)

At this point slip these 2 stitches, pick up and K1 and pass the slipped stitches over, fasten off and you’re done!

Big thank you's go out to Frankie Brown for creating such a lovely pattern and for allowing our group to use it for our mystery knit along this month! I knew everyone would find her written instructions very easy to understand!

PART 4 - Working the Spiral

• w&t (wrap and turn) is worked like this:

Bring the yarn forward, slip the next stitch purlwise, take the yarn back again, replace the slipped stitch on the left hand needle, bring the yarn forward again and turn the work.

----------------------------------------------------

You’ll now be working in rounds so you need to mark the start of the first round with a safety pin after the last ridge worked. I know a spiral doesn’t actually have rounds but, for the purposes of shaping this thing, we need to impose rounds on it!

So, having put your safety pin in, continue as follows:

*Work one 8 stitch ridge (K8, w&t and knit back)

Work one 10 stitch joining ridge (K9, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Repeat from * until you get back to your safety pin.

PART 3 - Getting Ready to Work the Spiral

PROGRESS PHOTOS POSTED:

----------------------------------------------------

In the words of the designer:

----------------------------------------------------

Things You Need To Know:

• Where possible, all outside first stitches are slipped to help with the joining. I haven’t put this in the instructions so as to simplify them and it’s not disastrous if you forget.

• w&t (wrap and turn) is worked like this:

Bring the yarn forward, slip the next stitch purlwise, take the yarn back again, replace the slipped stitch on the left hand needle, bring the yarn forward again and turn the work.

----------------------------------------------------

Now you have to build up to 10 sts ready to work the spiral.

First knit into the front and back of your one stitch, giving you 2 sts.

Now you have to work a combination of joining ridges, short rows and increases for a while so I will give you ridge by ridge instructions for this bit:

Ridge 1: K1, sl 1, pick up and K1 (this first picked up stitch should be from the ridge above the tail of yarn left from casting on), psso, turn and knit back.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL BE PICKING UP STITCHES ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF YOUR CIRCLE TO MAKE A SPIRAL...EACH RIDGE IN THE CIRCLE WILL HAVE A STITCH AT THE END WHICH CAN BE PICKED UP AND KNIT.

YOU CAN VIEW THIS PROGRESS PHOTO TO SEE WHERE THE FIRST STITCH IS THAT YOU NEED TO PICK UP: http://www.flickr.com/photos/15226377@N07/5184000913/

Ridge 2: Kf&b, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (3sts).

Ridge 3: K2, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Ridge 4: Kf&b, K1, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back. (4sts)

Ridge 5: K2, w&t, knit back.

Ridge 6: Kf&b, K2, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (5sts).

Ridge 7: K4, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Ridge 8: Kf&b, K3, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (6sts).

Ridge 9: K5, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Ridge 10: Kf&b, K4, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (7sts).

Ridge 11: K5, w&t, knit back.

Ridge 12: Kf&b, K5, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (8sts).

Ridge 13: K7, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Ridge 14: Kf&b, K6, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (9sts).

Ridge 15: K8, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.

Ridge 16: Kf&b, K7, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back (10sts).

That’s the hardest part done.

From now on it’s easy peasy knitting.

Use your cast on tail to sew up the gap in the circle and to neaten the centre.

That’s the only sewing up you’ll need to do apart from sewing in ends when you start new balls of yarn.

PART 2 - Second half of the centre circle

----------------------------------------------------

In the words of the designer:
----------------------------------------------------

Things You Need To Know:

• Throughout this pattern I refer to ridges rather than rows. A ridge in garter stitch is two knit rows.

• Where possible, all outside first stitches are slipped to help with the joining. I haven’t put this in the instructions so as to simplify them and it’s not disastrous if you forget.

• w&t (wrap and turn) is worked like this:

Bring the yarn forward, slip the next stitch purlwise, take the yarn back again, replace the slipped stitch on the left hand needle, bring the yarn forward again and turn the work.

*K2, w&t and knit back.

K4, w&t and knit back.

K6, w&t and knit back.

K8, w&t and knit back.

K6, w&t and knit back.

K4, w&t and knit back.

For the second half of the circle work five repeats from * and then knit 10 sts.

Now cast off 9 sts, leaving you with one stitch on your needle at the outside of the circle.

Ignore the fact that the circle is not yet closed, we’ll deal with that later.

PART 1 - First half of the centre circle

----------------------------------------------------

The trickiest part of this pattern is the beginning. Once you get past that part, it's a breeze!

In the words of the designer:
----------------------------------------------------

Things You Need To Know:

• Throughout this pattern I refer to ridges rather than rows. A ridge in garter stitch is two knit rows.

• Where possible, all outside first stitches are slipped to help with the joining. I haven’t put this in the instructions so as to simplify them and it’s not disastrous if you forget.

• w&t (wrap and turn) is worked like this:

Bring the yarn forward, slip the next stitch purlwise, take the yarn back again, replace the slipped stitch on the left hand needle, bring the yarn forward again and turn the work.


To Begin:

Using the long tail method cast on 10 sts, leaving enough of an end to sew up a short seam.

*K2, w&t and knit back.

K4, w&t and knit back.

K6, w&t and knit back.

K8, w&t and knit back.

K6, w&t and knit back.

K4, w&t and knit back.

That’s 6 ridges knitted and one pie-shaped section of the centre circle worked.

Repeat from * four more times and then work one ridge(2 garter rows) on all 10 sts.

Your knitting should now look something like a semi-circle.

----------------------------------------------------

Two days will be given to complete this first part :)

“Weeping for Willow”
Designed by Rachel van Schie
Wednesday, June 02, 2010

In Loving Memory of Willow Scott-Hannam
~ November 20, 2005 – June 01, 2010 ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This is the design that I contributed to the calendar called, "Weeping for Willow".

I designed this pattern in honour of a very special little girl who was very close to our hearts, who left this world way too soon.

Willow’s infectious smile and fun loving spirit will be greatly missed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Our next Knit Along will start on Monday, November 15th!

This pattern is very adaptable... you can make it as large or small as you'd like so you can choose to make it into a dishcloth, or a placemat, a baby blanket or even a rug... depending on what yarn and needles you use and how long you keep knitting it. I will post enough parts to get you roughly to the size of a dishcloth and after that, it's up to you if you'd like to go farther with it.

We will not be working with a lot of stitches, so short needles work really well, I'm actually using 2 short double pointed needles just because of their length, nothing to do with them being double pointed.

You will want to use a needle size that's best for the type of yarn you're going to use. So for example, I'm using Bernat Handicrafter Cotton with size 4.00 mm needles. If you are wanting to use something like sock yarn, you will want to use smaller needles, and if you are going to use a bulkier yarn, you will want to use larger needles.

As for the colour, that's totally up to you guys! I think a variegated would look pretty as well as a self-striping yarn. The good thing about this pattern is that you can change colours whenever you want, so if you've got lots of scraps leftover that would be good too.

I will be posting this kal a little different from past ones. Instead of posting daily rows, I will be breaking the pattern up into parts and I will be giving you a couple of days to complete each part.

I chose to use this pattern for our next kal because it is something very unique, creative, versatile, and a wee bit of a challenge. Don't let the challenging part discourage you from trying it out though... With the help of the designer's easy-to-understand instructions, it'll be a breeze!

As always, any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at ramavasc@yahoo.com

Take care and thanks for knitting along with us!

Hugs,

Rachel

Hey Guys!

Get your needles and cotton ready...our next KAL is coming up! It will begin on Monday, October 18th!

This mystery dishcloth Knit Along has been designed by our Group Moderator, Marilyn Wallace with a Halloween theme to it! This will be one of Marilyn's Cryptic Message KALS! She has designed this dishcloth with a cryptic message in it that we have to try and figure out. There will be a little contest to go along with it as well! Naturally Marilyn and I will be excluded from this contest as the group owner and moderator, but everyone else is more than welcome to join along in the guessing fun!

* You must be a member of Rachel's Knitting Room Yahoo Group to be eligible to win the prize give away... Enjoy the Cryptic Message KAL & please feel free to join Rachel's group to be eligible for the prize :)

* There will be absolutely NO GUESSING ON THE GROUP...all guesses will have to be done privately by emailing Marilyn at marilynw@rogers.com

* There CAN NOT BE ANY POSTING OF PICTURES before the contest is over... this is a guessing contest and it will be spoiled if pictures are posted prior to Marilyn announcing the winner! AFTER the contest is over and the winner is announced, then please feel free to post your finished pics... thanks so much for understanding :)

* Submissions will ONLY be accepted AFTER the final rows of the kal have been posted.

* PLEASE put, "Cryptic Message Theme KAL Contest" in the subject line when submitting your answer to Marilyn.

* Only 1 guess per person will be allowed for this contest.

* It's not a race to see who guesses correctly first, as I have picked a random number without Marilyn knowing.

* Marilyn has graciously offered to send the winner of this contest a little prize. The Prize will be knitting related & your snail mail needs to be submitted to Marilyn privately upon notification of the winner within a week or another winner will have to be chosen.

For this pattern, Marilyn suggests size 4 mm short, circular needles (knit straight on them) or US#6...please feel free to use your straights if you do not have any circs...Marilyn always suggests knitting straight with your circular needles which is a really good tip so you never drop the other needle and also it's makes for a more compact project.

Please Note: If you are a loose knitter, I would strongly suggest a smaller needle size for you so your stitches really "POP" out better...especially if you are knitting letters!

You will all need 1 ball cotton yarn for a Dish Cloth OR 1 ball CottonTots for a soft, Spa Cloth. Any colour would work well, but it is strongly suggested to use a SOLID colour for the pattern to show up well.

Also, a quick little note to all our "lefties" in the group...this cloth will have lettering on it so you might want to read your pattern rows from right to left...just to let you know :o)

Hugs and Good Luck,

Rachel

Are you new to our Knit Alongs?

Would you like to join but don't know how?

No problem! Everyone and anyone is more than welcome to join along!

Here's how it works:

.
.

All our Mystery Group Knit Alongs start on the 3rd Monday of every month.

.

You can join our online group to share pics of your finished kals and talk to other members about the kal or what you've got on the needles at the moment or perhaps what you'd like to have on your needles:
.

.

Each day I post a handful of rows for our mystery knit along until it is complete... usually lasting between a week and 10 days.

.

I post these rows on our online group as well as here on my blog, so be sure to check for kal updates here or on the group.

.

If you are a member of RAVELRY, be sure to link to our mystery knit alongs to keep updated by either, adding it to your projects, adding it to your faves, or adding it to your queue:
.

.
I also post progress photos each day for people to check their progress with mine to make sure they're on the right track with the pattern... there's nothing worse than knitting the entire kal and not finding out till the end that you made a boo boo way back in the beginning!

.

If you are interested in viewing the progress pics of our kal as we go along, be sure to visit my FLICKR page for all the photo updates:

.

And of course, if you have any questions or concerns at all in regards to our knit alongs, please feel free to email me @ ramavasc@yahoo.com

.

Our next Mystery Group Knit Along starts Monday, September 20th!

.

You can click here for all the details!

.

Thanks for joing and knitting along with us :)

Get your needles and cotton ready!
.
Our next mystery dishcloth kal is right around the corner!
.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

When Will it Start:

Monday, September 20, 2010

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

What Will You Need:

2 different colours of Worsted weight cotton yarn (approx. 25 m./27 yds. of each colour)

4.5 mm. (US 7) circular needle or pair of long double-pointed needles

--> Don't worry if you don't have this exact size, something close to it will do... I test knit it with a size 3.5 mm circular needle and it worked out just fine, but you WILL have to use a circular needle or a long double pointed needle as we will be sliding our stitches from one end to the other. We will NOT be knitting in the round, this pattern will be worked as a flat piece.

Stitch markers

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Suggested Colours For You:

You will want to use two highly contrasting colours for best results! I will be using Baby Green and Baby Pink together for my sample.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Stitches That Will Be Used:

k = knit
p = purl

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Any questions or concerns feel free to email me at ramavasc@yahoo.com

Rachel

There were a few errors found in the original pattern when I test knit it for our group a few weeks back. Corrections were made for our kal but I noticed that Shirley hasn't made the corrections on the pattern on her site yet so please keep that in mind if you are wanting to reuse the pattern.

For now you can still find the corrected pattern posted in installments:
