Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth

This was much easier than I thought it would be. I used a 40 peg rake with a 3/8" gauge (I think). Michelle sent me a fabulous video explaining how to do it. I will be making more of these.

The cone holder was made by my dear husband. It works so well. Now my cones don't fall over when I am working with them.

Just some more stuff

I really like the look of the knitted cloths.
This is a new pattern for me from Lion Brand.
They have the stitch of the week and many of their patterns are perfect for the cloths. This is done on size 7 needles and of course I use my knitpicks.





These are several of my looms. The darker one is also from Lion Brand. It is the Old Fashioned Knitting Board. I love the feel and look of it. On it is a scarf (which looks knitted on both sides) done in Lion Brand Homespun.

The little one in the front is from Cindiwood Crafts. It is perfect for cloths but it doesn't have the rounded pegs so as of now I am having a little trouble with it.

Now the long one in the back: I don't remember where I got it. The pegs are really close together and I am thinking about making a scarf for the Red Scarf project in January.

Latest Projects

This cable scarf is giving me the fits. It curls. I blocked it and it still curls, then I steamed it and believe it or not is still curls. I think maybe there isn't enough reversed stockinette between the cable and the border**since that is where it curls.







This is a cuddles done in Lamb's Pride WW. The drape is so nice that I may do a baby blanket using this stitch. Who knows??

First Wrist Warmers

A baby hat among my first fingerless gloves or wrist warmers as they are sometimes called.

These are made with Brown Sheep cotton fleece and are soft and warm. The hat is going to Loves Cozy closet.

The gloves in the forefront are black (believe it or not) and they are for a co worker to wear under her motorcycle gloves for added protection. I was happy to do this for her. The purple (yep that is purple) are mine and the first pair I made.

These are crocheted with the half double crochet and it very easy. This pattern can be modified easily for different size hands.

****************Something new

I really like the colors in this cloth. Now don't ask me what it is. This yarn just showed up at my house one day. Thank you













This is my first pair of toddler socks. I did them on 1 circular needle. The magic loop method. I will be doing more like this.
I like the double points also but I do not care for using 2 circs. Just wanted to share my opinion


Socks going to Loves Cozy Closet for distribution







First mesh bag done with Bernat handicrafter cotton. It worked up very nicely. This will be going to Loves Cozy Closet for distribution.


Must continue to say that LovesManyCloths is the best group on the net.

**************Some of my Stash

I was asked to show some of my stash so here it is. The top is my working area where I keep some yarn and of course projects. On the arm of the chair is my big Cuddles, this one is for a dog. The next one is my box of mainly cotton yarn to be used mainly for cloths and at the bottom left is it box of donations that I just received from Brown Sheep Co. I just love their yarn and the company has really blessed our group. The white and natural is from Elmore Pisgah which makes the peaches and cream yarn. We are so blessed to have yarn companies provide us with donations.

The Brown Sheep is Lamb's Pride and it is mill end but looks like firsts. Under all this pink is some gold, orange and yellow.

***************Finished the bear blanket

This was really easy but it still took me a while to make. I kept looking at it and it said "please finish me" So I finally did. I had no pattern except for the bear. Did 4 of those and with Peggy's advice just did the rest of the blocks in double crochet with a made up border. I usually always need to use a pattern so I am really proud of this one. It is being sent to All Childrens Hospital in St Petersburg FL.
