Come on share what is a " loopy dishcloth " stitch?

Sorry, I've only just seen this.

You knit normal garter (plain) stitch, but take the yarn around both needles before taking it over the bottom needle as you normally would.
You can knit entirely like that, but I usually knit some plain rows too- maybe every third row or something. You can add a row or 2 of it into scarves etc as well- looks lacy and makes it grow quicker

Janie, I got the fancy fur yarn from turkey on ebay last xmas and did a lot of scarves and it was fine.
Am looking for a pattern for slippers, not bootees style but actual slipper lookalikes. I have seen them but cant find a pattern..anybody ?

Can anyone remember that Danish site...it had a couple of lovely slipper patterns...may have printed them out, if I did can send you a copy.

Please god it isnt all in Danish ! I once had a norwegian penpal send me knitting patterns--that was hilarious:rotfl: To begin with, the norwegian for pattern is "monster" . My son was round-eyed and scared stiff at this brown packet with foreign stamps and MONSTER written all over it

Mrs claus is lovely i knitted her and the doll thats actually 2 dolls a few years back.

Ive just finished knitting a bag with round wooden handles, im in the middle of knitting a scarf with pockets at the bottom ( saw a similar scarf for sale but defintely wasnt willing to pay £60 for it) and im going to line the pockets with fur fabric to keep my hands warm, Im also in the middle of knitting a cardigan if i ever finish it
