Okay, totally unrelated to the fierce dishcloth, which I love.  The link below is to an article on the Denver Post site which is all about making your own cheese, bitters, bacon etc.

I really, truly am in love with this dishcloth!!  I know I will have to knit it soon . . but I have a couple of questions.  I hope they aren't too dumb, so here-goes:



When you are knitting the 35 ruffle stitches with the main dishcloth stitches - together - do you use both strands of yarn to make the stitch, or just use the main dishcloth yarn and ignore the yarn from the ruffle?



When you are done joining those two sections together . . do you cut off the yarn tail from the ruffle . . and just weave in . . or do you immediately start a new ruffle at the end and the ruffle makes an "S" weave down the dishcloth?



Thanks for the pattern!
