FO: Two cotton dishcloths



I used sugar'n'cream cotton yarn for both of these, the patterns I found on knitting pattern central. I really liked knitting the purple one up, the pattern looks nice, and was fun to do, but the other cloth was called "Simple seed stitch" - the image in the pattern made it look a lot nicer then it turned out. The edges also roll in which I'm not happy with. I need to weave in the yarn still and finish them off.

No pictures yet, but

I have a lot to upload today! I've finished the NB Wooly Wonderpants I was knitting out of Lorna's Laces "clay", finished my dish cloths, and mostly finished a punk knitters NB soaker. The soaker's leg holes turned out quite small, and I think I'll frog back some and add a few more rows to the rise and put it back together. No big deal since I messed up my kitchener while grafting it closed anyways. When all the books tell you to turn off music and get away from all distractions before kitchenering, they mean it. Its easy to make a little mistake and mess up the whole thing.

The other day I got some lovely malabrigo in the mail, the colorway is citrus. I thought it was more orange then pink, and was hoping it would make cute unisex shorties (maybe longies, we'll see), but there is a lot of pink. It reminds me of a grapefruit. I love it, but if we have a boy its not really suited for one.

I can't find my tapestry needle, so all my FO's aren't all woven in yet. I'll get to posting pics soon.
