Knitting News

 

Buckle up! I've got lots of knitting to show you this week.

First up are these quick and easy wash clothes I whipped up as a little gift. I used left over worsted weight cotton and enjoyed immensely how fast they knitted up. Wash clothes are the palate cleanser of knitting for when you finish a big project (the never ending blanket) and want something that is instant gratification.


I stared a gift cowl in one left over skein from my sister's sweater. This is knitting up fast!!

And finally a much better photo of the shawl I am currently knitting that has eyelet rows galore. I know when this is blocked this will look fantastic. I rather enjoy the knitting (reminds me of the hitchhiker pattern - addictive) and I have another skein of variegated wool wound up and ready to cast on maybe when I finish this one or maybe before I finish this one. I'm in a 'cast on' mood.

What are you working on this week?

  3. Your projects do all look wonderful, and the dishcloths make me want to knit some of my own!

  10. What nice projects. I love the shawl and the cowl. I cast on a slip-stitch dish cloth myself this week. You are so right dishcloths are a great palate cleanser after a big project.

  11. Your dishcloths look like waffles :) ! I am working on a very ill fitting tee; might have chosen the wrong needle size and pattern size ( might have forgotten to swatch properly ). Currently I seem to be in between sizes, which makes picking a good fit quite a challenge....

  15. Those are packed in eyelets in that shawl. What great texture your washcloths have. You are right how they're a great palette cleanser in-between knitting projects. I have finished my teal one some time ago. I still have Dishy left. I should start another.
