So you mentioned on the supercrunch bd that you knitted napkins on larger needles. I'm intrigued. :) What size needles did you use? I'm assuming cotton yarn, right? I'd love to see a pic if it's not too much trouble.
I saw a big cone of natural colored cotton with specks of pastel colors here and there when I was last at hobby lobby. It caught my eye but I didn't have a need for it so I didn't buy it. Might make good napkins though :)
As for dishcloths... I've made some on size 8 needles. I have one in the works on size 7 needles...it's taking too long. Good thing it's pretty yarn (variegated purples and blues) or else I'd probably give up on it. I have a cotton baby sweater in the works on size 9s right now and it's going super fast. The 9s are definitely not too large for dishcloths. 10s might even be ok...I just haven't tried cotton yarn on 10s yet. (maybe someone else has and could comment...)
