Well, the nice thing about knitting for toddlers, Barbies or the house is…the mistakes are just fine! Nobody cares if it came out as a masterpiece. This is a neat pattern….once I finally figured it out. Think I’d gotten to just about the last third when it finally clicked in my head. But HEY! it’s a dishcloth…it’s not like your sink is gonna notice, right? I may try this one again…but I’ve got a lot of others that I want to do too, so might just file the pattern away for a future project, like a poncho or a sweater - for Barbie or one of the kids!
Scarf Style/Wrap Style Knit-Along

Three of the dozen or so I’ve made so far. Recently found a BUNCH of new patterns, and am currently doing a mystery cloth in a Knit-Along with the yahoogroups monthlydishcloths listserv. Seems silly getting so excited over some cotton and a couple of knitting needles, doesn’t it? I’m finding it very relaxing. Nice to have something to do while waiting anywhere. Today on a conference call for work I knitted up 15 rows. Gotta love working at home - Uniform: PJs. Conference call: Speaker phone + knitting project = time flies!
I’ve been meaning to get started on a blog for some time. So, here’s the first attempt. Winter here in the foothills has been a mild one this year, and while cold/wet weather projects have been calling, we’ve really had a LOT more outside weather than I’d care to admit. Guess it doesn’t stop me though!
I have apparently shifted my fiber interests this year to knitting. Scarves galore, I’m almost finished knitting my second pair of socks, made numerous dishcloths just because they’re such a fun take-along project, and quite frankly they’re as addicting as chocolate…or popcorn or something. I believe more of my family members and friends are about to become gifted with quite a few, since I’ve made a lot more than I can use, and there’s no end in sight because I keep finding such cool patterns to try! I have a beautiful shawl on the needles - although this pattern is challenging me, and it may not progress as fast as I’m hoping.
A couple things got sewn this year too…flannel jammies for my sweet granddaughters, a fleece cape for me since I don’t have a winter coat and really needed something to keep the rain off and the occasional cold out. Curtains for my mom…and a few Barbie things. Pictures you say? Soon. I’ve got photos of some of the projects, and will add them ASAP.
