Deb Buckingham

From the author of Dishcloth Diva comes Dishcloth Diva Knit On , featuring 15 more charming cotton dishcloth patterns inspired by colorwork, cables, open work, and traditional rib knitting. Each pattern perfectly walks that tightrope between elegant design and workhorse appeal in the kitchen and bathroom. Throughout this collection, Deb's modern design, clear photography, and precise intructions will give you hours of simple knitting pleasure. The book also includes a step-by-step guide to organize your own group "lapghan" project: knit each square with wool instead of cotton, and you have the beginnings of a beautiful blanket that is appropriate for charity giving. Deb's helpful tips make it fun and easy to start your own charity knitting group.

Let's face it-dishcloths are a pretty utilitarian knit. But they become a delightfully simple pleasure when they have a modern design twist. In Dishcloth Diva, Deb Buckingham brings new spin to an old idea. Each pattern offers a unique take on dishcloth design using knots, lines, ribs, and textures. With 20 patterns, including a wide variety of stitches, each design is easy and fun to knit, and fits effortlessly into your bag, ready for a road trip...or the morning subway commute. Beautiful photography shows each design up close and personal, while emphasizing stitch detail. Clear and precise step-by-step instructions guide you through each pattern, achieving stunning results at any skill level. These 20 modern, enjoyable knits are perfect both for beginners and for experienced knitters looking for a relaxing project. Dishcloth Diva features a foreword from Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting, an avowed fan of the humble washcloth.
