My Vintage Christmas Tree

I'm way behind in posting my knitting!

I call this my Vintage Christmas Tree -
because when I was little, my mother had a small pink Christmas tree, only about a foot tall, with feathery pink branches ~
and when I saw this cute little tree, I wanted to make it in pink!

This cloth was designed by Janet Nogle, and her pattern was in the 2009 Back to Basics Calendar ~
for further info about the calendar, you can check the website she created for it here.

Winter Icicles !

What's on your needles today?

I'm working on the Monthly dishcloth mid-month KAL ~

yesterday I finished this Winter Icicles cloth designed by Linda Smith-click here to get the pattern and info.
The original cloth was done in red and white, I used blue and white, I think of snow/ice/winter and think of the color blue.

Feathers and Fans

This pattern works up so fast and is so easy, I've made a number of them for quick gifts this year.

It looks great in variegated yarns, and in self-striping too.

Cheyenne

Have had this pattern for a while but hadn't done it -
decided to knit it in this self-striping yarn and like the look it gave.


- this is the Cheyenne pattern from a Monthly Dishcloth KAL earlier this year.

Another color--

I really like how this green/purple variegated worked up in this pattern!

Pastel cloth

I used the same Christmas Cloth pattern - and did it in pastel colors for a different look - used a variegated pink/mauve for top and bottom border rows - then white with speckled pastels for the body.
I like it - will be nice towards spring time.

Scottie Dog

I knit this cloth for my cousin, we've been researching our ancestry together, discovering that our roots go back to Scotland, so I thought this was perfect for her! [besides, I've always liked those little Scottie dogs and the plaid outfits they wear in children's books!]

Tree Lot

Just finished knitting up this one -
used Lion Brand cotton yarn in Sage color ~

The pattern, Tree Lot Cloth, is from Knitwits Alley ~ check her site for fabulous patterns!

Today's a *freebie* for me: we have a *snow day* - No School today!
So I'm sitting cozy on my sofa enjoying a cup of Green Tea with honey and lemon,
while knitting !

Watching the birds out the window is my idea of fun in the snow!!!!!

Twisted Yarn Version

Here's my latest cloth- done in Sugar and Cream's Yarn in Green Twists -
using this same Christmas Cloth pattern ~



I like it better now than when I first started it -
decided to switch from the twisted yarn and use plain white yarn for the rows where you pick up and do the *butterfly*, that seemed to set off the stitching so you can see it better.

Really love this pattern! Think I'll do some more for gifts, it's an easy pattern to follow, works up fast!
