So now I've joined the phenomena of blogs about knitting. Have you ever noticed how many knitting blogs are out there? However, this will not be a blog entirely about knitting. That just happens to be the most recent project I've completed, and I wanted to share it. A friend's book club reading selection for April, The Friday Night Knitting Club, inspired me to drag out my knitting stuff and dabble around again. I clearly don't have time to tackle an afghan or sweater, but I discovered some cute patterns for cotton dishcloths. Dishcloths are perfect little projects I can work on in the evenings and while sitting with the boys doing their homeschooling.
This is the first one I've made and I wish you could see in the photo how it's textured. It's really thick and sort of waffled. I'm using it as a toaster cozy for now replacing the dishtowel I've had there for years.
I really liked this pattern once I figured it out and memorized the 4 repeating different rows so I didn't have to lug the pattern book around with me. I will definitely make more of this pattern. I started a different pattern from the same book and am not liking it as much. Maybe it will grow on me by the time it's finished.
What a great idea for where to use it. I can't wait to see it. Maybe you'll have to show me how to knit some time. I've never...ever done it.
