Honeycomb Dishcloth

Honeycomb Dishcloth Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This dishcloth uses the variation of the popcorn stitch the kernel stitch and since this dishcloth is round, I could not think of a better name. Sort of resembles the cereal of the same name. Well sort of. It is a fairly fast and easy dishcloth to make and would make a great addition to a gift basket of kitchen related goodies.

Random Quick Tip!

Easy Does it Hand Sewing
If you use a needle and thread for alot of hand sewing and it seems to twist and knot on you alot. You can rub the thread onto a piece of bees wax. The wax coats the thread nicely and lets the thread glide through the fabric easily. If you are in a pinch and do not have bees wax, you can use an old stump from a candle or a matching color crayon. Bee's wax is best though cause it is all natural and will not break down your cotton thread.
