Knit urge

I got this great knit dishcloth pattern last night, and I finished it last night too!
I just HAD TO knit last night, and once I started on this project, I couldn't put my needles down!


Rachel created this cute dishcloth design, and I'm now trying to decide which one I'll get next from her website. :)

I got to knit more since my knitting skill has gotten really rusty. :(
My cast-on is a little floppy, and it was hard to keep the same tension. Let me just blame it on the cotton yarn, ok. :D

Heart Dishcloth

I love to decorate my kitchen with a seasonal dishcloth!
The Valentine's Day is near, and I just had to make this heart-shaped dishcloth.


I used "My Heart Dishcloth" pattern

I omitted ch-1 on straight lines, and I added a loop.
I had to add my boy's little snowman art he did at kindergarten in the photo. :) I thought it was so cute, and I love how they used popcorns for the snow! Also, a little shell is the mouth. :D

Have a great weekend!

Starting the 63 square afghan

I finally got my yarn for the 63 square afghan and finished the first single crochet stitch square over the weekend. ;D

    

My yarn is Caron's "Perfect Match". The colors are, from your left, Taupe 7751, Rose 7709, and Cape Cod Blue 7736.
I used size H hook as suggested, and the size came out fine for this square. I have started on square #2, but it seems like I have to use smaller hook to get the size right.

I also made these. :)

The patterns are from Leisure Arts booklet, "Kitchen Decor".

Dishcloth

Pattern Name: "Quick and Easy Kitchen Helpers"
Pattern Source: "Kitchen Decor", Leisure Arts little books, Page 20.
Publisher: Leisure Arts Inc.

The main part of this dishcloth is all half double crochet stitches. It really was easy and quick to make because I crocheted it all having coffee in the morning yesterday. :D

I like the color of this yarn very much. :) I still have much left so I am thinking about making a dish towel with the same yarn and maybe some more dishcloth.

I also bought some thread yesterday so I will crochet something with it too. ;)

!!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!
