Grand-daughter On My Mind

I'm creating a *new* blog page -
with things I've done for my grand-girl ~
she turned 2 years old yesterday!

Come visit by clicking here!

This is one of Rhonda's Daryl Waltrip patterns -
I knit it in RedWhiteBlue striping yarn, for this weekend, the 4th of July!

Tulip Dishrag

I fell in love with this cloth the moment I saw the pattern!

It works up easily - and would be beautiful in any spring color!




Think Spring! ~

Cloth and Soap Sleeve

I absolutely LOVED doing this pattern!

You can make the dishcloth with a matching 'sleeve' to put over a bottle of lotion or handsoap!

This pattern works up to make for a woven-type look to the cloth ~ very pretty.

You can see the set with the soap sleeve also at here at her site.

It really dresses up a soap bottle! Great for a gift idea!

Foaming Waves

For this cloth, I used Foaming Waves Dishcloth by Nettie Knits Designs

It works up to a nice lacy design -
and she gives a hint to keep your sides nice-looking:
Knit to the last stitch; bring yarn to front.....

check her website here to do this fantastic edging!

Mother's Day

Knit up this cloth to go in a gift basket for our church auction - with Mother's Day coming up next month, I thought it would be a good choice.
"I Love Mom"

You can find her pattern here.

Diagonals!

These are two simply-knit diagonal cloths - the variegated colors are what makes them stand out a bit more than a solid/plain color.

Colors!

I can't remember right now what the pattern is for this one! But I love these colors !!

Voila !

Voila! is a new *favorite* pattern I recently tried -
it is one from Sue Schaefer's Harvest Moon designs
[check her site for fabulous patterns] ~



I love how thick this turns out -
perfect for a pretty hot-pad on the kitchen table.

Very easy to do, works up fast, too.

The Merry Month of March ~

well, on the calendar, at least!!!
Snow IS rapidly melting - finally -but lots of cold wind and rain are coming at us this weekend.



This shows a picture of my favorite cuddle-up throw, Let it Snow!
[you'd think I love snow -but I don't - only the snowflakes and snowmen that are in pictures!!]
Lass is sitting with her friend, Eleanor the Elephant [my aunt had her made for me, sewn together from old sweaters, by an industrious young lady she knows! pretty cool, eh?!!]
