Thank you so much for this pattern. I must be really dumb today because in reading this over on row 7 - what am I passing the slipped stitch over??
Must be the stormy weather affecting more than just my sinues!! Thanks bunches!
Thanks for the catch...it's a K1, which I've added...thanks! Had a horrible connection while trying to post earlier..hopefully, it's all set now!
You are quick! Thanks again for sharing. I love this one so much...so pretty.
Hugs!
Hey Cathy! Thanks for visiting. The ASJ was a bit difficult since it was my first big sweater project but a great learning experience and the final result was worth the effort. It's making a great artistic statement draped over the guest chair in my office at work now. Your heart cloths are beautiful and right on time for Valentines Day gifting. Thank you for sharing your pattern. I'm hoping you'll get nothing but good news on your folks in the coming days. I'll be thinking about you all. Have a great week.
These are beautiful. I will make this set, probably as a Mother's Day gift for someone...(not my own mother--she requested matching gloves for the hat/scarf I made her for Christmas).
Your tribbles come out so perfectly round and un-crinkled without a hole in the center...Mine are fine, but end up wavy if I pull to close the hole? You can look at my ravelry to see what I mean...What's your trick? Maybe its the size needle, or number of rows you knit?
You and your parents are in my thoughts :)
These are so beautiful! But what is a Trible besides the Star Trek ones?
Precisely :). Tribbles (knit) are another name for the scrubbers. If you make it with furry yarn, they look like the Star Trek Tribbles :)
Is there a pattern for the Tribble?

For rows 95-108, did you mean "repeat rows 93 & 94"?
Hi,
I was wondering if you have the pattern for the round knitted scrubber. Also I tried to print some of your patterns out but since they are typed in blue won't show up on paper. Thanks Again.
I think you also need to make a correction in Row 81 - you put a K1 instead of K2tog???
81) Sl 1, K7, (Sl 1, k2tog, PSSO), K7, (Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO), K7, (Sl 1, "K2tog", PSSO), K7, (Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO), K7, end, (Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO) K8. (49 sts.
No, the K1 stands, as the center stitch. That's why I added the stitch count. But thanks for writing. I appreciate all the help I've had with this pattern.
Happy knitting!
that is so pretty, do you have crochet instructions??? I don't knit but I crochet. new follower.. :)
Ok, I'll admit total ignorance.
What is a tribble???
Scroll down the left side of my blog to the tutorial sections and click on the link for Tribbles, it'll take to you my tutorial on them and give you the link for the original pattern. They're pot scrubbers.
Love this pattern. I did one but just knitted rows 7-10 til I got my desired length and then picked up the pattern at row 81. Turned out beautifully!
Hi Cathy, I love your Two Hearts as one kitchen hanging hand towel. However I have a few questions for you I am obviously doing something wrong. I am a fairly new knitter that will explain my problem. I find on the rows I don't have enough stitches to complete the row. Example row 7, there are 17 stitches, then the stitches between the asterisks, if I am suppose to do them 5x would be 65 stitches. Please tell me what I am doing wrong as I have started this about 3 times and would love to give it as a wedding gift in Sept. Thanks so much for your help, I love both the towel and cloth. my email is kathyjdean@gmail.com if you prefer to contact me that way. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day, Kathy with a K LOL
Are you taking into account that the psso is a decrease? Without seeing your work I can only guess.
Hello Cathy...
I am trying to knit the hand towel. Row 7 doesn't work out to the right number of stitches. I end up with 51 stitches instead of 59. I don't know what to do next. I have taken this out and started over twice. I'm trying to knit up the set for a wedding shower gift, and I already have the dish cloth done.
I really hope you can help me with this problem.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you
Fellow Knitter
Go back and double check your yo's. And make sure you're doing the center section 5 times. That part alone will give you 35 stitches. Count, count, count. But I promise this works to 59.
Hello Cathy...
Thank you very much. Third times a charm!!
It worked. Now I'm going to add the tribble to finish off the set.
I really appreciate your reply. Thanks again
Make certain to link up in ravelry so we can see it! Yippee!
