Very cute! Even better if done in two colors, so the
machine stood out a little better. I wish I were still able
to hand knit...

Intarsia? On a dishrag? I'll pass. ;-)

I have a wonderful pattern for dishcloths to be done in cotton yarn, a
tuck stitch, beginning on the point, increasing to the middle, then
decreasing back to a point. Very popular with everyone I've given any,
and I like them a lot myself, but they do take time to knit, even on the
machine. I've done some with stripes, but would never attempt a picture
pattern. I would save those for sweaters, and other larger items.

Me too. I buy my dishrags for less than a dollar apiece at Big Lots or
the like, and toss them when they get ratty. I save my handwork for
things which can be worn or otherwise displayed.

I've looked and looked but can't interpret it :-(

It's like those pictures you stare at to see something significant - I can't
do that either!

It's the silhouette of a sewing machine in the middle of the cloth.
It's done with stitches, purl for the machine against a background of
stockinette. There is a little bit of detail for the badge.

I understand how the pattern is formed but simplyu couldn't understand the
outline. Now that you've explained it a light bulb has shone, my eyes are
oped and Hey Presto! A sewing machine :-))))))))))))

Thank you!

My pleasure. Now you won't be able to look at it without seeing the
machine. I confess, it took me a few minutes of looking before I saw
it, and I have done a lot of knitting!

I've done loads of knitting in the past 65 years :-) It wasn't that, it's
something in my brain which doesn't work as well as others!

You're right though, I can't see it without the sewing machine now :-)))

As do I lately, but the cotton ones I have made in the past are really
the Rolls-Royce of dishrags. They just *work* so much better than
anything I've been able to buy at any price. The cotton is so
absorbant, and wipes up tables and counters so much more efficiently
that they really are worth the effort. Plus there's the adulation of my
friends and relatives that I gift them to. ;-)
