And then on Saturday I knitted up these 4:
Top photo variegated yarns are Dishie from Knit Picks. I have enough in each ball to do another one.
The other 2 from the top photo are I Love This Cotton by Hobby Lobby. The resulting cloth is super soft. Definitely more of a bath cloth than dish cloth. I don't think they'd be sturdy enough to withstand actual scrubbing.
In the bottom photo, the two on the left are actually a snow man and Santa. You can probably see the images if you click on the photo to make it bigger. I used Lily Sugar and Cream for the White, and the Red is Dishie again. The pink is also Dishie--and it's hearts. The green one is a yarn I got from Discontinued Brand Name Yarns...I have a good bit of it and keep drawing it out of my bag, so my current knitting is also in this green. I like how the lace pattern showed up, and it wasn't difficult to knit...remember I can't handle difficult knits these days.
On Sunday I got interested in knitting things other than dish cloths, so I worked on and finished David's hat. Then I started Alyssa's hat. Upon finishing up the laundry on Sunday I decided that I don't have enough socks, so I pulled out my current sock knitting...and I'm about half way done with the foot on the first sock. That's like getting a major bonus in the sock knitting department, so I worked on that a little bit last night.
It was a nice relaxing weekend, also spent in my pjs. I've needed that a good bit lately, and won't get pj weekends until December...we have travel coming up. Any recommendations for yarn shops in Roanoke?
