March Dishcloth

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

With St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, I could not pass up on this cute dishcloth for the month of March. While I am not fond of green beer or believe in “luck”, I love the symbolism of the shamrock. Legend says that St. Patrick used the shamrock to help explain the Trinity to the people of Ireland.

To make this dishcloth I began with Rhonda White’s free pattern posted on Knttingknonsence.com (here) and a skein of Hot Green yarn by Sugar ‘n Cream.  For once I did not change the pattern, but knitted it up as written, other than changing the needle size to 6 (as I do with all of my dishcloths). As always, Rhonda White has done an excellent job. I love the seed stitch edging that the pattern uses.

Peanut Butter Fudge

Tomorrow, March 1st, is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. I have to admit that I crave peanut butter, the only problem is that I have found the peanut butter triggers my migraine headaches so I try to resist whenever I can. Peanut Butter Fudge can really test the limits of my will-power. However, my family loves it and I so usually I will make it along with my chocolate fudge (recipe found here).

Owl Always Be Your Friend

Before February is over, I wanted to share one last Valentine’s Day idea with you. While I realize that you will not need the idea any time soon, maybe you could pin it unto Pinterest so you can find it next year when you do need it. Or maybe you will find it while searching the internet.

My daughter’s AHG troop exchanged Valentine’s within her unit. We loved this, for as a homeschooler we have not regularly exchanged Valentine’s among friends and classmates. Instead of the regular store-bought cheesy cards, we opted to make some. In my search I have found several ideas that involved wrapping a box of confectionary hearts but none of them seemed right for us. So I was determined to make one that she liked.

Sugar on a stick

Last year for the AHG Father/Daughter Dance I made chocolate covered marshmallows. This year our new troop in Florida also had a Father/Daughter Dance. Each family was asked to bring something to share. I asked my  husband what he wanted and HE picked chocolate covered marshmallows. However, I hate to do the same thing twice…

Besides the different colored sprinkles, I also designed a stick topper inspired by the valentine conversation hearts. Continue reading “Sugar on a stick” →
