Fantazia Cloth

Oh, my! What a beautiful cloth.  I knitted this cloth in about three hours with size 7 needles.  I cast-on 39 stitches. The print is called "Painted Desert".  This cloth  is about 7-1/2 x 7-1/2.  Perfect size for washing dishes. Not!  I've already told my two boys, I had better not see a lick of grease on this cloth, anywhere!  It was a totally fun and satifying knit.

Happy Hour Cloth

Wow, there is an optical illusion going on here.  This pattern was quick and easy.  I actually completed the entire cloth while watching "Desperate Housewives".  Boy, those girls sure are naughty!  This is one show that makes "hubby" happy, happy, happy!

I cast-on 41 stitches for this cloth and found that it was a little too big for my needles.  I decided to rip them out and cast-on 25.  I used my size 7 hand-crafted wooden needles.  It's too small for washing dishes, but would make a cute "mug rug" or a square doily.  Oooh, maybe I will do one in needleloft yarn and use it as a scrubber!  Gotta run, the yarn is calling me again!

Butterfly Cloth

I've  been wanting to try the butterfly cloth  for a while now. I finally did and was blown away at how lovely it is.  When I first looked at the pattern instructions, I thought it might be hard, purling 6 stitches together. But, it was easy! I made a tribble as a match set.  This will go to my dishcloth exchange partner.  I hope she likes it.  Humm...Gotta run, more knitting to do!

Tribble Fever!

Finally, I finished my first tribble.  I created a cute little flower shape in the top.  I found that it you manipulate the tribble with your fingers, it will flatten and smooth out.  I can't wait to try it out.  I will be making a cloth for an exchange this month and I just might include a tribble with it.  A little extra is always a bonus, right?  Now, I fear I have tribble fever.  That might not be such a bad thing!

Dishcloth Dress!

I just love this pattern.  It is so cute.  This is one of those scrap projects you can make with 1/2 an ounce of cotton yarn.  The pattern is very easy to follow and only takes a couple of hours of knitting.  It's a great project to work on while watching t.v.  Why not make one for a friend or better yet, yourself! You can find the pattern here.

Who can resist a chocolate cupcake?

Not me.  I knitted this yummy cupcake in about 2 hours.  I just love the fleece yarn that I chose for the icing.  Nice and fluffy, like a cupcake should be.  There is an incredible amount of joy that knitting food gives you.  As you can see, my handcrafted double-pointed needles are in their glory!  Maybe I will knit a vanilla cupcake next with a birthday candle on it.

She's Finished!

Well, I must say she is a beauty!  I was surprised to see that it only weighed 1 and 5/8 oz. of cotton yarn.  One ball would make one cloth with a decent amount of scraps leftover. You could make a tribble in the varigate to match.   It is so soft and cushy, it would make a nice bathroom rug! Thirsty indeed!
