This dishcloth pattern is especially made for SF fans and the crafters of the 82nd World Science convention in Glasgow in August 2024.

This sample was knit in a sparkly yarn reminiscent of stars in the night sky, and the motifs incorporate space rockets in flight over the armadillo convention center and are purled on a stockinette background with a garter stitch edging.
