How do you wash your dishes?

There is some debate whether to use dish cloths or sponges to wash dishes. I’m of the dish cloth camp myself. Probably due to my love of vintage homemaking stuff.

I also have a fondness for ordering my household tasks by the days of the week. Some time ago I picked up some dish clothes with the days of the week on them. I’m not necessarily completely happy with them but I have yet to find the perfect days of the week dish cloths (you etsy crafts people hint, hint).

I also wanted to pick up some dish cloths with the days of the week on them. I found one pair but didn’t like the look of the cloth itself.

You see I was in need of some new dish cloths. My previous set had disintegrated rather rapidly I thought. I browsed the internet looking for that perftec dish cloth. What I did find was some information stating that linen dish cloths are the best. They apparently last a long time in addition to doing a fabulous job on the dishes. So I went to see if I could find some. They sell the fairly cheap overseas in England but the shipping made a purchase like that prohibitive. I found them here in the states too but the shipping again made the cost rather high. I like seven by the way.

So my crafty aunt came to the rescue and knit me a lovely (in my favorite) linen dish cloth using a pattern from her copy of Knitter’s Stash

The cloth is pretty to look at and has a good texture to it for washing dishes. Many dish cloths feel like slipper somethign or other but not this dish cloth. I’ve asked her to knit me a few more.
