Hey Guys! Sorry to be so late in getting this month's kal announcement out to you, I've been horribly ill and I'm just starting to feel normal again. Big thanks to our Marilyn for all she does for our group and big thanks to our Chappy for hosting and helping with her sock kal that everyone seems to be enjoying so much...I'm so impressed with the way it's going!

Okay...here it is!

This mystery dishcloth Knit Along has been designed by our Group Moderator, Marilyn Wallace. This will be one of Marilyn's Cryptic Message KALS! She has designed a dishcloth with a cryptic message in it that we have to try and figure out. There will be a little contest to go along with it as well! Naturally Marilyn and I will be excluded from this contest as the group owner and moderator, but everyone else is more than welcome to join along in the guessing fun!

For this pattern, Marilyn suggests size 4 mm short, circular needles (knit straight on them) or US#6...please feel free to use your straights if you do not have any circs...Marilyn always suggests knitting straight with your circular needles which is a really good tip so you never drop the other needle and also it's makes for a more compact project.

Please Note: If you are a loose knitter, I would strongly suggest a smaller needle size for you so your stitches really "POP" out better...especially if you are knitting letters!

You will all need 1 ball cotton yarn for a Dish Cloth OR 1 ball CottonTots for a soft, Spa Cloth. Any colour would work well, but it is strongly suggested to use a SOLID colour for the pattern to show up well.

Also, a quick little note to all our "lefties" in the group...this cloth will have lettering on it so you might want to read your pattern rows from right to left...just to let you know :o)
