FO ~ Cloth

07 December 2008

Earlier in the year I took part in a Cloth & Soap swap and for my pal I knitted...

Pattern: Peas and Carrots Scrubber Cloth (Ravelry link) by Maile Mauch

Yarn: Anchor Magicline

Needles: 4.5mm

Thoughts: It was a fun to knit such a bright cotton and I really like this pattern and will knit it again. If you follow the pattern link/s you'll see that I've omitted the peas and carrots mentioned in the pattern's title and added a hanging loop.

FO ~ Cloth

29 June 2008

This is the cloth I knitted to send to my Cloth & Soap Swap pal.

Pattern: Peas and Carrots Scrubber Cloth (Ravelry link)

Yarn: Anchor Magicline Cotton

Needles: 4.5mm

Modifications: I didn't knit the peas and carrots to attach to the cloth and I added an i-cord loop.

Notes: This pattern works wonderfully with the stripes in this yarn. The bright colours were fun to knit.

FO ~ Washcloth

05 April 2008

I recently participated in a "Cloth & Soap Swap". Here's the washcloth I made for my pal...

Pattern: My own. I attempted another, but it had errors, so I picked a pattern from a stitch dictionary and went with that.

Yarn: Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton DK

Needles: 4mm

Comments: The cotton is lovely and soft and my pal loved it!

Dish Rag Tag

02 September 2007

I'm participating in Dish Rag Tag. This week I was "tagged" and on Wednesday the box arrived from Kate (I don't think that Kate has a blog... I couldn't find a link).

Here's the pretty dishcloth that Kate knitted (and crocheted) for me.

Thanks Kate!

I've been dying to try Lincraft's Bamboozle (70% bamboo/30% cotton) so that's what I used.

Pattern: Lacy Mock Cable Cloth

The box was back in the post on Thursday, so if it didn't arrive on Friday, it should tomorrow (Monday).

You may remember these... we finally remembered to snap a picture. They were a birthday gift for my friend R, and she loves them.

Needles: 2.5mm
Pattern: my own

Here's my FIRST FINISHED crochet item!

The photo doesn't show off the colours well, but it's the clearest we could get.
Yarn: Anchor Magicline Cotton
Pattern: From R's crocheted dishcloths book (I'll have to get the details)

My "snappy" socks...

They're finally finished, thanks to the arrival of some Knit Picks DPNs.

2 x Finished Objects

15 June 2007

I've been keeping busy both knitting and crocheting, so here are a couple of pictures to show you some of what I've been up to...

My second-ever crocheted item ~

It's a dishcloth made using Anchor Magicline. To begin with I had some trouble figuring out the pattern, but thanks to IM help from J and phone help (and in-person assistance) from R, I finally got it all figured out! As R pointed out, my gauge did get a little looser the further I went. (Apparently I'm a tight crocheter... which makes sense as I'm a tighter knitter too).

A knitted object...
