Knit Together Project Info:
Lots of maker communities collaborate or play “tag” with fun objects, ideas, materials, or FOs. Right now, for example, there is an ice pick making the rounds with YouTubers . . . each person who receives the ice pick makes a video about using the object. I thought that we fiber-fellows could make up a collective project of our own. Won’t you join us?

Hi Melissa! I would probably knit the Leaves shell by Kay Hopkins.

Hi Melissa! I definitely would knit dishcloths from it. Lately I read and watched a lot about olastic pollution – also the invible in our daily cosmetic and washing our dishes, clothing and ourselves. So I plan to avoid plastic whenever it is possible: so I’m going to ban all plastic (nylon, polyester…) dishcloths in my house.

Hello Melissa, I would knit a bag to take to the beach in summer. Your podcast is wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to talk with us,

I have knit a lot of wash cloths with assorted cotton yarn, they are mindless to make and amazing to have and use! I also enjoy crocheting pot holders, and knit dish cloths and towels for the kitchen. I also find that cotton is handy when making balls and other toys for babys and children (washability, and no shedding when chewed on). This summer I am thinking about knitting a summer shirt from some cotton in my stash.

I’m using a cotton linen blend to knit the Tegna, so a summer knit shirt.
