Snowflake/Star KAL


I finished this last night. This is the January KAL on the Monthly Dishcloth group at yahoogroups. It is too pretty to use! This was made with Peaches & Cream white 100% cotton yarn.

Dishcloth KAL

I was looking for some small projects to work on while I recuperate from my CI surgery and joined a monthly dishcloth group online at yahoogroups. They have KALs (Knit A Longs) and make two dishcloths a month. I made my first dishcloth with the red yarn that I'm using for my Irish Hiking Scarf. The edges on the side curled under but I haven't blocked it yet. This is how it came out:



I also made another one with Peaches & Cream variegated yarn and this is how it looks. I added some extra stitches on the side to keep it from curling under. It is hard to see the hearts on this one.

I sent my 23 year old son, Chris, to Walmart to get some more yarn for me. Here's what he got. Not bad at all, huh?

Hiking Scarf Progress

I've been working on my Irish Hiking Scarf between projects and thought I would share the progress. It is a great way to learn how to make cables but this scarf is taking forever. As one of my commenters says, "it should be named the Infinity Scarf!"
