This is what it looks like when you are ready to turn.

Heptagonal Wash/Dish/Anycloth

This week's pattern is a cloth, knit back-and-forth in garter stitch, that uses short rows to create a seven-part rounded shape. The only special techniques you need to know are a temporary cast on and grafting in stockinette stitch. I'm calling it "Heptagonal", because it has seven sides. And I am a nerd.

This is what it looks like when you have just turned, and are about to work your way back to the outside of the cloth.

Conversation

My conversation this week is with Carol Cameron, who goes by "rududu" online. We talk about many things, including the source of her wonderful screen name. She prefers the term "color play" instead of "color work." Fun!

This is a closer look at one wedge. There are 7 in the cloth.
