Since I knitted my first dishcloth last year I've not been able to go back. I even use them for really icky pots and scrubbing. Then into the wash and they always come out clean, even the white ones.
I've got most of my friends and family hooked on them too.

You know Ann & Kay say right there in their book that knitted dishcloths are to help dissuade the "precious knits syndrome". Yes - use it! Perhaps not as a pot scrubber, but washing dishes with it can't be worse than washing ourselves with it! :-)

It was so nice to go out at 6:15 tonight and have it be 74 degrees and not 94 degrees.. let's hope it sticks around a bit!

I definitely used them on my dishes. Even really disgusting dishes. They work better than anything else. Those garter ridges scrub really well. Dishcloths are quick and easy to make, and they're practical and useful. What else could you ask for. So take the plunge - scrub those dishes. You'll never want to use anything else again!

I have yet to make a washcloth but I would not use it on my dishes-no way. Face is the only way to go. Enjoy those stitches. I'm glad to see it's cool down a bit!!

I love using knitted dishcloths when I do dishes. They just seem to work better...

Watch it. Dish cloths are strangely habbit forming. For some variety you might want to try Dave's Garterlac pattern. I think I've knit about 4 of them, already. You can find it at my blog or go to Crimny Jickets.

Nope, I don't use them on my dishes---I generally give them to someone else so THEY can fret over that decision!

'Bout time the weather has mellowed out for you guys. Stay cool, girlie.

I crocheted a loop on mine and it hangs on a handle by the sink; I dry my hands on it after doing dishes. Nice and soft. *cuddle*

Oh Yeah! I use the warshrags on the dishes. I find them a little too big so I've started knitting them a little smaller.
I'm SO glad it's cooled off...

I didn't have the guts to use the first few for washing dishes - I use them to dry dishes instead. By the time I got to the third one, the "specialness" had worn off, and it went straight into the sink.

You can use the first few dishcloths for hand towels, trivets, etc. Or do what I have: hang them over the oven handle, and pretend like you'll be using those ones on the next sinkful of dishes, but really, they're just for decoration.

Oh, yes. Warshrags are for the warshin' up. Yessum. I've made plenty of dishrags, including a few of the MSK ball-band pattern, and they all are in the dishcloth rotation. In fact, I switched from using those kitchen sponges (eww) to handknit dishrags a few years back and the originals are still great!

Oh, and could you send some of that coolness down this'a way? Muchly appreciative.

Dave is RIGHT! And I passed by a church with a big sign out front of it this morning. I almost took a picture. It said, "Church of the Crucified One." They made a church just for ME! Imagine. It must be a sign about the washcloth, I am sure of it. (yes, the heat is back and it IS getting to me)

I have a knit dishcloth (not a Mason Dixon warshrag, but a dishcloth nonetheless) that I use all the time. It works great, and when it gets dirty a run through the washing machine makes it perfect again. Do not fear the using of the dishcloth!

I have knit maybe a dozen or so dishcloths in my knitting lifetime and have never ever used one on my dishes.

That may change, since I'm on a Mason-Dixon washcloth knittin' spree.

very pretty! I think I have made over 25 different patterns but YET to make the MD one! Looks GREAT!! Go ahead and use it on your dishes....it's the little things in life that make it glamorous ya know!! LOL!!

Thank goodness things are a lot cooler today! I use my dishcloths on my dishes and they hold up quite well. The only thing is once you wash them the colors tend to fade a little.

Yesterday was so strange! It was dreadful when I walked into work, but when I walked out, the sun was still hot and bright but there was a distinct chill in the breeze. It made the hair at the back of my neck stand up. And like Maryse said, I could smell the sea--in Cambridge. So very, very strange!

I even did some spinning last night. I can touch wool again! :-)

OMG!!! SANDY!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE????
I.AM.NOT.KIGGING!
If you turn it sideways, it's the crusifiction of Christ! You could sell that for TONS on eBay! (Hey, someone solf a piece of toast wtih the likeness of the Virgin Mary.) Wow...

i don't use them on my dishes but i have them stacked in my linen closet.

yesterday when i left a meeting at 3 and walked outside back to my office, it was still hot and clammy and soupy and gross.

when i left my office at 3:45 to go catch the train, you could smell the sea air and there was a slight chill. totally crazy shit.

when i got off the train at 5:15 in franklin, it was hot and clammy and soupy.

I use mine in my daughter's bath. She likes the bright colors. The colors in your cloth are great!

I use 'em on my dishes. Yup, I do.

I don't use them on my dishes, just face. Love the ocean colors of your cloth. Have a great weekend!!

I make them all to be used, though I have to admit, I don't always use them. Several of mine are sitting in the fruitbasket, protecting the apples and bananas from the wire of the basket.

I'm highly envious of your temps, especially outside. Outside before 8am here it was already over 80 degrees.
