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!

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?!!]

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 !!!
