Pictures as promised!

The other day I said I would post pics of the four dishcloths, all knitted with the same cotton, to show the effect... well here they are:

This is the openstar dishcloth and the first one I did. I quite like it although something funny went on at the edges... carried on with it regardless, lol.









Next up we have the wheatfields cloth, and this was the one I finished the other day. The last cloth for a while. I quite like this one too, although it might be a bit difficult to see the pattern in the colourway of the yarn.









Thirdly, we have the diagonal slant cloth. I like the effect of this one, and,











Fourthly, the classic chequerboard effect cloth. This one shows the colourway of the cotton up best. Just wish my camera were better.







And there we have it. 4 different clothes in the same yarn equal different effects. Nice.

Still here!

I'm still here and still knitting away, just nothing that's photoworthy yet.

The Emerald has languished in its pink bag for 2 weeks now because of the evil row, and really I should have sorted that out ages ago and be wearing the thing by now! But no, I'm scared of the billion stitches I have to tink back, afraid of messing up the stitch marker placement and thats holding it all back. Shame on me! I'm going to try and get it done today, I promise!

Other than that, knitting has actually taken place. I have a cone of peaches n cream that is now very nearly done thanks to the 3 dishcloths I've knitted from it. Cloth 4 is currently in progress and once they're all done, they shall all be posted together to show how different the colourways look depending on the patterns... I've also not taken photos of them all yet, lol.

I've also started socks for the mother in tofutsies, however the way the colours go remind me of snake skin and that might be a problem if she notices that too, lol. These are pair 3 for 2009 which means I'm a pair behind.... I blame last Saturday's tragic incident. Traumatised I was!!!

Off I go to do something knitworthy!

Another one bites the dust

I finished my first ballband dishcloth today and I like it a lot... it reminds me of typical Irish summer weather, but I suppose its best to explain the thing when you can actually see it, lol.

I also cast on some Rose Arm Warmer's for a Christmas present.. these might take as long as the jumper!

the evils of Supernatural

I was watching the latest episode of Supernatural while knitting this snowflake dishcloth, and must have skipped a row... I ended up with the right and wrong side on the same side, lol.

Naturally I didn't notice until I was casting off, so its a bit of a mismatch. Supernatural was great though AND this little mistake helped me use some cotton so it was Win/Win all round.

I'm also currently in the midst of my very first ballband dishcloth and I'm liking it a lot. New skills are great!
