Wild Rose Textured Dishcloth

As of April 28, 2013 this pattern has had some errors fixed up.  Hopefully all is now perfect!

Wild Rose Textured Dishcloth

The wild rose is the provincial flower of the province of Alberta (Canada) and that is where I grew up.  This dishcloth pattern is dedicated to my mother, Marcella Schwenk, for showing me both how to 'smell the roses' and to 'do the dishes' when I lived out in Alberta.  Thanks Mom!

  1. This is beautiful, but I'm afraid I never did master knitting. Being the anti-change personality I tend to be, I just stick to crocheting more than anything else.. some scrapbooking, and art journaling, or crafting now and then; but crocheting's been my biggest love, ever since I was a young girl! You DO remind me, however, that I could stand to whip up at least a couple new dishcloths myself, though!!.. Just not today! Wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter! Hope the Easter Bunny is good to you all! ~tina

    1. Thank you very much Tina. You are very kind. I love looking at crocheted work and patterns. I love it enough that I am beginning to learn to crochet even though I will always mainly be a knitter. Thank you for friending me and have a very nice day! ~Anne P.S. You have some BEAUTIFUL crochet patterns and are very talented!

  2. Sorry if you get comment from me twice (i typed, and it disappeared).
    Anyways, I wanted to say Thank you so much for this pattern.
    I'm 47 and just started knitting. My mom has been knitting all her life (since childhood), and I finally just got the bug!
    I have so many projects in my head I want to do, but I have to finish the scarf she has me knitting for her for practice, but then I saw your Rose Dishcloth, and it was perfect. We grew up in Alberta (north of Grande Prairie), and itching to start making these :-).
    Just out of curiosity, can I make placements in the same design? would it be hard to adjust?
