Dull Men's Club

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I'm going to be such an ass because it's the wrong comm but you're twisting your stitches. On the other hand, fab colours and a dishcloth is a dishcloth.
I usually give the nicer ones away.
I’m pretty sure the way I perl is illegal, and would offend anyone, continental or English.
I’m putting this in a little free library I think.
I have this “default” pattern that I do while watching tv. Sometimes mess up terribly, but just keep going because I don’t use paper towels at all and this is my substitute.
It’s a very nice, cheap hobby. Dollar tree often has some okay cotton, it splits a lot but not impossible to deal with. Hot water cleaning cycle, which is necessary for cleaning things anyway, tends to tighten the cotton such that the gaps are really tightly bound.
Idk - I think this is a great double sided pattern. The back half has like garter/back of stockinette ridges for deep scrubbing, the front side looks pretty and has those softer length ridges for small, delicate detail work in scrubbing.
Do a multiple of three + 1
S1, p2, k1 repeat
S1, k2, p1, repeat
Knit all
Perl all
I’m stealing this, but it’s from a blog post I read years ago 😅
Knitting is such a comforting hobby. My time killers are socks, relatively small and formulaic projects.
Patty Lions has a blog where she shows different techniques and ways to knit. There is her article about twisted stitches. Once again, for dish cloths it really doesn't matter if the stitches are twisted or not but you may find it's actually easier to knit non-twisted.
Happy knitting and cooking!
