Other Projects

Here are some pictures of some other things that I have been working on. The baby blanket is about 3/4 of the way done. The pattern is from a dishcloth pattern that I got from Sue Shaefer's Harvest Moon Designs. It is called Easter Grass and instead of casting on 40 I cast on 160. I am using size 10 1/2 needles and Bernat Softee Baby yarn in Light Purple. It is really turning out pretty, I want to crochet a white border around it to finish it up. I promised my DH that I would not cast on anything else except KAL's until I get this blanket done!!! Ugh am I crazy?? So I am knitting like a crazy woman trying to get it done!! ( I have to cast on my first pair of socks!!! ) Also, I am knitting little baby wash cloths to go along with the blanket as a gift to a friend that is having a baby! Well off to work on the baby blanket......my sock yarn is just sitting here waiting to be cast on!!! lol

Feb. Mid Month KAL

Here is the Feb. Mid Month KAL. The name of it is "Finders Keepers" and is designed by one of my favorite people Sue Shaefer, and the link to her site is here on my blog. It is "Harvest Moon Designs" and she has wonderful patterns for sale, and some free ones also. Thank you Sue for this wonderful pattern for us all to knit this month, I love it. I was not to thrilled with the colors we were to use......"Verde Green & Mauve" but love the pattern. I posted 2 pictures of the cloth 1 up close so you could see the little windows in the pattern, and the other of the full cloth. I will make this one again with different colors. Maybe a solid and a ombre!! I am so glad this is a short month, because that means the next KAL starts on Saturday!!!! I am ready to start!! 4 down and 20 to go........I am keeping up with this challenge!!

Feb. Dishcloth KAL

Here is my dishcloth for the beginning Feb. It is a picture of a Valentine Candy Box. I did it in Peaches and Cream "Rose Pink" I think it turned out really pretty. My girls really like this one. I think they would swipe it if I had not told them that I needed to take a picture of it first. I don't think they know I finally did!!!!!!!!!! So it is neatly tucked away in my dishcloth drawer.

So now I have 3 done and 3 posted and 21 more to go!! I am also working on some baby cloths and a baby blanket that I will post pics of later. I also go some sock yarn that I ordered the other day, and can't wait to cast on for my first pair of socks :)

Feb. Mid Month Dishcloth

Here is the Jan Mid Month Dishcloth KAL that we did. It is really pretty and is a pattern that I will use again!! I knitted it with Peaches and Cream "Daisy Ombre" The pattern is called " Diamond on Lace". I am going to give this one to my Mother in Law for her new kitchen. They just bought a 100 year old farm house in Texas, and re-did the whole inside of it, so thought it might go with her kitchen and yellow is her favorite color. 2 down and 22 more to go!! Other than not getting them on my blog until now, I did get them done on time, and as they were posted!!

Football KAL Cloth

Well I finally got my pictures taken so that I can post them here. This is a picture of the first cloth that we were to do in Jan. It is a picture of a football........and I knitted it while watching football......lol!! I knit it up with Peaches & Cream "Ecru". We were to use a tan or brown, but I had not ordered the pre-packs that Flo made up for us, so used what I had out of my stash!! I think it turned out pretty good. One down and 23 more to go!!!!!!!!!
