As I said yesterday, I have been digging my needles into dishcloths lately. I have been making as many in various colors, shapes and sizes as possible over the last week to give to my daughter Hilary for her upcoming birthday. She got married in the Spring and will put them to good use no doubt. Though she is a knitter herself {because Mom taught her a few years ago!} she wants some made by MY hands. A nice compliment.
As everyone knows, all projects start with the proper supplies and tools. So here's a peek at the ones I gathered for this venture. {LOVE the basket ~ $1.00 at the second hand store!}. The yarn is I LOVE THIS COTTON from HOBBY LOBBY. And I DO love it!
Then, of course we must have our pretty knitting needles. I am crazy about these blue and white beauties from CHIAGOO. They remind me of that lovley old china my grandmother had when I was a child. You know the pattern. Not only are they pretty, they're smooth as silk to work with, making 100% cotton glide along quite nicely.
Have a GREAT WEEKEND! I will start showing you all the individual dishcloths on Monday.
P.S. Some things NEVER change! Even the little guy can't resist a nice basket full of soft yarn! :)
I promise ~ I am NOT posing him in these yarn baksets. I leave the room for a single minute and when I return this is the nonsense I find. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
