2-Needle Socks!


My first-ever pair of socks!

I knit these for my grand-daughter - have NEVER knit socks before!
But this pattern was so easy!

It's called *2 Needle Kid's Socks*
I used Bernat Cotton yarn, nice and soft for her little 2-year-old tootsies!

You can check out the pattern by clicking here to get to the Crazy Kiwis.

Crochet-Thread Dishcloth


My mom says this works great !
[Hard to believe that thread so thin can be a super scrubbing dishcloth!]
I used a blue and a pink, 2 threads held together ~

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 !!
