I am going to be the devil`s advocate , i do many things , but i can`t
bring myself to knit Dishcloths ,,,,, i rather have them from old torn
clothes , underwear , towels, old nylons , anything which can`t be
repaired ,, i do make the odd pot holder ,, but NOT disccloth ,, ps
new kitchen towels i sometimes buy on the Metters , and cut out a
bunch ,, finnish by machine the short sides and share them with my
kitchen and my children`s ,,,

yes, cotton (lily sugar & cream, i think it's called). you can
pretty much use any knit & purl pattern, but you do want a
non-curling border around it. personally i don't see the point
of a cabled dishcloth, but it really is a good way to practice
cables, or any other stitch pattern and end up with something
at least useful :)
they're also nice for teaching kids to knit. simple pattern &
not nearly as mind numbingly boring as finishing a garter knit
scarf, but a good gift for mom or grandma or a washcloth for
themselves.

They are made out of worsted weight cotton yarn -- Sugar and Cream, Lion
Cotton, etc. -- and size 6, 7, or 8 needles.
There's a web site called Dishcloth Boutique that has SCADS of patterns,
and I am on a few Yahoo lists where there are monthly and/or bimonthly
knit-alongs for dishcloths (links available on request)
