It has been an interesting week & 1/2. I have been sick and mentally out of it but since I was slugging, I got all caught up on the dishcloth challenge. Now I can concentrate on other things. This is a pretty fan design that I of course put my own little spin on. I am a rogue artist sometimes!! I made it a bit bigger than the pattern called for and then put a 2 dc 1 sc edging on it. It is a pretty minty green that is almost icy. It is tough to see it here, but I sure do like the way it turned out! Try the pattern located HERE! You can do it!!! Walk on the wild side and do something to make it your own!!!
How's other stuff going you ask? Not well. My laptop is dead since our trip to SC. I am pissed with it but I am going to try to work on it tomorrow. My life is on that computer!!! It will take me forever to reclaim everything and on top of that, all of my photos lost. Patterns, passwords, you name it. Can you spell HEADACHE?
Okay so this is funny and laugh if you want to but boy did I screw this one up! I was setting up to photograph this cloth from the 52 week challenge. I shot the picture and as I cropped it and edited it, I realized what I did to screw this tiny little cloth. If you look closely, somewhere in the middle, I lost control of the front and the back. NO I wasn't going to frog it and do it over. I kinda like it even if it is all wrong. This pattern is easy and I would make a larger one (in the future) because I think the pattern is pretty. Would make a nice silk scarf too or bamboo. Here is the PATTERN. Give it a try and watch closely as to which row you are on!!! LOL
This is week 7's dishcloth. I have one more to go before I catch up. WHEW....it is possible when you put your mind to it!! I have to confess here. I did not make this a full size cloth because I plan to put soap in it and use it as a scrubbie. I have the perfect soap in mind. It was beautifully scented lavender clay soap. I cannot wait to use it. Please try the pattern. It is so easy and you can use this one to make a beautiful purse lined with a gorgeous fabric. Here is the PATTERN. Have fun with it. Maybe use a homespun or thick and chunky for an afghan. Enjoy!!!!
Ok so I am almost caught up with the dishcloth event. 52 patterns for the year. If you did the math, that is one per week. I got behind because my daughter was in a national pageant as Miss Texas and my brother died yadda yadda. This is week 6 called Grandma's favorite dishcloth or on the net it is also known as the Idiot dishcloth. If you knit, and are a beginner you should try this one. It will help with increases and decreases. Here is the PATTERN. Give it a go. This makes great shower gifts for brides or babies or as housewarming gifts. Let me know how it goes!!!
This is my attempt at week 5. Is it called cupcakes. You can see the cake and the frosting if you look real hard...LOL So far, this pattern was my least favorite. It has nothing to do with the pattern just me and my attention span vs the pattern. It was fun watching it develop so give it a try if you enjoy the hook. Here is the PATTERN. You may love it!!
This is my attempt at week 4, the first knitted cloth. It was not my first attempt at knitting or short rows (I have knitted several socks) but it was my first attempt at a pattern like this. I learned a lot about turning on short rows. I also remember that I should keep better track of where I am in the pattern. OH and here is the PATTERN. Give it a try. Oh and when you are on the Last "PIE" section, bind off where it tells you too. I messed up but was too tired to frog anything else!! I frogged this one 3 times and backed up 2 other times.
This is my attempt at the week 3 dishcloth. Yes I am behind, but I am getting caught up! This was not made from normal kitchen cotton but Red Heart Eco-Cotton blend made from 75% recycled materials. HERE is a link to the pattern. Give it a try. it is very easy! Using the yarn I used, it came out longer than a dishcloth. I kept going because I am going to use it on the top of the tank for the toilet. ENJOY!!
This is my week 2 of 52 Weeks of dishcloths. I made a lot of mistakes but I learned from them then twisted things around to make this one unique. Fun!!!
This is my attempt at week one of 52 Weeks of Dishcloths. I honestly forgot I was doing this. WHAT is wrong with me??? HERE is where you can find the pattern. This would also make a great blanket.
