Knitting 2 items at one time!

If you are knitting duplicate pieces (like socks, sleeves, etc), or want to knit 2 dishcloths exactly the same, at the same time, on the same needles, use a separate ball of yarn for each.

It's easier to read the pattern, and work the row for the first cloth, and then do the same on the next cloth, while both cloths are on the needles at the same time. I find this technique works great for bazaar/craft booth items and other instances when you find yourself needed to work up a large number of a particular item.  My dishcloths work up nicely on the longer needles,or you can use a circular needle.  You can find many examples on You tube of this knitting.
