Horse Dishcloth

I had to tweak the pattern a bit for it to come out correct, but I knitted Ann a dishcloth/facecloth with a horse!! Very appropriate for an equestrian science major!

More Knitting

I finished another cap. This one for Jill to wear. I don't like it as well as the other two because it wasn't knitted with wool yarn. The others were softer and probably warmer. I also knitted a heart dishcloth to send to Ann at college for Valentine's. I have a couple of dishclothes I want to knit and then back to socks! My fave!

Dishcloths

I have joined a group at Yahoo! Groups for knitted dishcloths. They are great fun to make and better to use for washing dishes than store-bought ones! The group has two knit-a-longs a month. This is the first one I participated in. The dishcloths turned out to have heart motifs. The yellow one doesn't show the pattern well, but it looks like sunshine to me. You can see the hearts knitted in the red cloth a bit better. It changes to a different color because I was trying to use up left over cotton yarn.

Knitting caps

I came across the Cold Weather Hat on www.headhuggers.org and have made several caps using this pattern. I couldn't find anyone to model so Jill's white bear was drafted. These caps were made out of Muskoka yarn, 100% merino wool in Denim Marl. I'm going to make one more, but out of Berella "4", color Wine Mist. All were made using size 9 needles.

My Hobby

A knitting friend told me I needed a blog. I didn't tell her I had one, but hadn't updated it in a really long time. I haven't even talked about my all-consuming hobby, knitting. But since the name of this blog is The Knittinglady, it should be apparent that I do knit. I read several other knitter's blogs and enjoy seeing what they are currently knitting. I'm finishing the Feather and Fan socks (will post picture when finished) and waiting very impatiently for my copy of Mason Dixon Knitting to arrive. I have already joined the Mason Dixon KAL (Knit A Long) and everyone there is busy knitting the BallBand Dishcloths.
