Knutty Knitter

Actually I wouldn't be able to knit to save my self but there's something about the cooler months that get my knitting mojo puuuurrrrling away.  Only simple little projects but it's great for relaxing at night in front of the TV and switching off from the day.

Last night I finished off the ball of 'Beetle' (variegated) with a second dish cloth managing to come up with a checkered pattern. Earlier I finished off the ball of pink 'Giggle' and found that by casting on 25 stitches and weighing the ball I could make 3 dust cloths. Look out now dust bunnies :o)


My challenge:  If any new balls of wool should find themselves entering my home, I must knit them up and not let them hide away until 'another year'. Just as well it's only July and there should be some more cooler weather yet, even though lately it's almost like summer some days.


Recent additions to my stash.  I see .... 2 scarves .... 3 colourful dust cloths and more dish cloths. Just can't help myself and I won't mention a little purchase also on it's way.

Not much time lately for fabric play and this weekend needs to be bookwork, yuk!  The 25th is also just around the corner ... hope you've been able to squeeze in some Christmas sewing to share with the 1 Xmas Item Elves.

Happy Creating   >^..^<
