Dishcloths!

Its easy to feel like a prolific knitter when you are cranking out dishcloths!!! I added 7 pics to the end of the slideshow, but for your impatient viewing pleasure, here they are:

***I can't get the captions to line up right and I am super tired right now. I'm sure you can figure it out.

The Unicorn is from the Monthly Dishcloth Knit Along June KAL









The Army Eagle I made today to send to my friend's husband in a care package





The Cat in the Hat cloth is super cute. Cameron is moving next week, so I have to finish getting his housewarming gift set together.

Chevron Dishcloth






The Dolphin is from the dishclothknitalong group's June KAL. I love it! I'll have to make another in blue.




The Flutterby Fairy from the dishclothfunknitalong group's June KAL kept me and my friends guessing the whole time







When I treated myself to all of that beautiful varigated yarn on sunday I knew I needed to just make a simple cloth where the color would be all of the decoration. I love this color combo.





This maroon, navy, and cream Grandmother's Favorite is also part of Cam's housewarming gift set.











The I heart DDD cloth I am keeping for myself. The cottontots is soooooo soft.






This Textured Ridges cloth actually made me faster at purling because the entire thing is worked up mainly in purl. Mine came out rather loose, but really pretty.













Ok, I'm going to bed now. I can't wait till friday!!!

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something.  I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born.  (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course)  Here's a couple close-ups.  It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is.  It's also lightweight and comfortable on.    I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off.  Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original.  (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?)  I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well.  The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW.  Sooooo frustrating!  And it was during

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
