Twin Trees

Ta-Da!!!!
I finished my version of the Twin Trees pattern ~
this was one of my cable *events* for the Olympic Knitting ~


I am SO excited to have completed it! and just in time for the closing ceremonies, too!

I also knit the Owl Dishcloth [see below]

I used the *trees* section from the Twin Trees Afghan pattern -
at LionBrandYarnOnline -
so this was my 'rough draft' of sorts ~
Next time I knit it, I'll include a border on the sides and top/bottom.

I used yarn that I had on hand, not sure if I would really finish it - didn't want to buy a special skein for a trial run on this pattern - I think this is called 'potpourri' -
but I like it, it looks like fall to me, my favorite season, with the falling different colored leaves !


The other big project [big, for me that is! having never taken on cables in knitting!]
was this cloth from Danielle's wonderful Dishcloth Corner.
This one was called Grandma - and it was a bit of a challenge, but I enjoyed it ~









I'm just so pleased that I tackled these cables and finished without giving up!
Cables just aren't that difficult - and I've come to really enjoy doing them -
so, now I'm onto more cable cloths and other projects !

Lacy Vines Cloth ~ Feb '10

I finished my Feb. mid-month cloth tonight ~
it's a lovely pattern, and many thanks to Janet for once again for her talented design!
I knit mine in a light blue, with Cotton-ease yarn [LionBrand] ~
I like it so much, I may even keep this one for myself !!!

Turquoise Stalactites

This pattern is from one of my very favorite designers:
Sue ~ of Harvest Moon[click here to visit her site].





It's a fast-knit, and has the look of the feather-and-fan styles.

Ribbons 'n Lace

This is a pattern by Janet - famous lady of the KAL Calendar ~
It was in the 2009 Calendar for August -


I knit mine in this self-striping yarn - gotta love that stuff !
-always makes each cloth look so different!

I loved this pattern as I enjoy doing lace knitting - AND.... it has cables in it! This is just the second item I've ever knit with cables! and it was so much fun!
Now I'm on a mission to find and knit a lot more cables!

Who's There?!

Owl Seed Dishcloth:
I did it!

This was my first "Cable" cloth!
I had accepted the Olympic Knitting Challenge, and my *event* is doing cloths with cables ~

I 'm so excited about accomplishing this task -
tho it was a very small start -
now, I'm ready to advance to the next project!
