This group holds 2 KALs per month. A KAL is a knit along. I will send an email to the group with about 7 lines of a pattern a day. I will continue to email the pattern for about 7 days. After 7 days, you’ll have a dishcloth to use or pass along. I do send the KAL rows to Special Notice members too. If you missed the rows for the day, please check the group’s site under messages. Search for (the month) KAL Day #1. Or go to: http://monthlydishclothkal.blogspot.com/

1st of the Month KAL: These KALs have a monthly theme and usually have a picture of something pertaining to the month/season. Usually a solid color is best for pictured dishcloths.

16th of the Month KAL: These KALs are usually a repeating pattern of some type. I try to incorporate a “new” stitch. Maybe something that you haven’t tried yet. Variegated yarns are usually good to use for these KALs. For these KALs, feel free to ask as many questions as you need to get your answer and get through the KAL. There are some wonderful knitters in our group who are more than willing to help. This is a learning experience KAL.

We have past dishcloth patterns to work on at your own pace. That leaves the rest of the month for knitting tips, help, suggestions and just chatting about knitted dishcloths. We will have fun with knitting year round.

REMEMBER: All post MUST be knitting related.

Please check the file section (2009 Suggested Colors)for suggested colors. You might need 2, 3 or even 4 different colors to work with. 100% worsted weight cotton yarn is always best for dishcloths. Make a list; when shopping and see a sale, you can pull out that list and buy what you need for future KALs.
