Our DIL loves the time proven hand knit gartered dishcloths and I try to keep her supplied in them. But I've fallen down on the job the last little while and they take me so long to hand knit. So I am knitting something similar on my midgauge 6.5mm machine with a garter bar. I turned (gartered) every 2 rows instead of every row as in the hand knit pattern but think they'll substitute just fine...every row might become a bit overwhelming. I used I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby in this one and it turned out just great. Someday I'll make one with Peaches and Crème and I'm suspecting the tension dial will need to be turned a couple clicks higher as it's not nearly as soft as I Love This Cotton. I'll report when I get one done.
