Weekly Topic: Dishrag. Dishcloth. Face cloth. I've seen folks get all fired up in forums when someone refers to their knit or crochet creation as a dishrag, as that's somehow offensive to them! When you're working on yours, what do you call them? Also, is there a difference between a dishrag and a dishcloth? How about a facecloth? Are they all really the same thing?
When I am knitting on my lovely creations, they are definitely dishcloths. That sounds so much classier than dishrag. However, after they've been used for several months and the color fades and they don't have that fresh, new look, then it's perfectly acceptable to refer to them as dishrags. I believe the only difference between a dishcloth and a dishrag is that the dishcloth is fresher than a dishrag. But in the end they are all dishrags.
Facecloths are a different thing. I want something softer against my skin. I think it must be knit of chenille if it's a facecloth.
