This one is my favorite so far. Mainly because I took a chance and did it. I am in a monthly dishcloth group, have been in the group for about a year, but have never participated in any of the KAL until this month. The first dishcloth was a really neat one with three crosses I sent that one to my mom and completely forgot to get a picture of it. The second KAL of the month usually has stitches that I have never tried before, just like this one. I thougth what the heck and tried it anyway. I had a few problems at the begining and had to rip it out a few times but by the second day I did fine as long as I went slow and paid attention. I still ended up having to rip out a few stitches here and then but never more then one row thankfully! I don't think it looks the greatest, especially compared to some of the others I have seen but it's mine and I finished it and I am happy!!!!


This is only the 2nd dishcloth I have made for myself. Considering I have made over 20 dishcloths since August 06, thats saying something. This is such an awesome pattern though. Its the same pattern I am using to make my daughters blanket, the feather and fan, I love washing dishes with it! lol It is such an easy pattern too. I love it so much I am making a bunch of them for Mother's Day gifts. I have done 4 1/2 more so far!





Yea! I actually got finished with it before her turned five!!! lol And actually finished it before he turned one. This is my nephews finished blanket. It looks like it is 2 colors in the picture for some reason but it is not. I never even noticed till my aunt pointed it then I freaked out because it was supposed to be all one color. But my sister assures me that it is one color, its the lighter of the two yellows.
