Waves of Love

This cloth pattern is from the March mid-month KnitALong, designed by Sue of Harvest Moon.

It was easy and fun to knit~
and I love the look of it!

Now I want to knit it, using a solid color and see if it gives a different look to the stitches/design.

February 2011 mid-month KAL

Had fun doing this
~it's from one of Alli's patterns ~

she was super nice and gave us directions to do one of her dishcloths this month!


You can visit her site by clicking here - or on the photo of my cloth.

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.

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!

For Rebecca

This pattern is called "For Rebecca" and designed by the one and only, Sue S from Harvest Moon ~

I used Sugar 'n Cream's Butter Cream Ombre for this one that I knit.

I made many of these for Valentines in various colors - pink variegated, shown - also, solid red, one in white with red border, etc.

This cloth pattern was fun to do -

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!
