The group Craft Hope is at it again! They are collecting donations for children in Kenya. So I decided to decrease my stash and knit a dozen or so hats for them.

Zig-Zag Blanket
A little over a year ago I began making a blanket / throw for my daughter. Well it is finally done.
This project began strong. I found a pattern a free pattern on-line and started knitting. In the beginning I was able to take it with me, but it soon grew too large. Then when I missed the original deadline of my daughter’s birthday, the project was set aside. At one point I even lost the thing and could not work on it. But here it is, all finished.
October Dishcloth
Did you know that there are less than 80 days till Christmas? This year is flying by. In January I decided to knit a set of twelve dishcloths as Christmas presents, one for each month. Time is running out, but here is the latest installment.
I found this free pattern written by Marilyn Wallace on the Knitting Heaven On Earth website. Of course I used my favorite size 6 needles. For each cloth I used less than 60 yards of Peaches & Creme 100% cotton Bright Orange yarn.
September Dishcloth
Can you believe September is here? The kids are back in school and hopefully the weather will start cooling down soon. That means that Christmas is right around the corner. If you have been following me for long you know that I am working on a set of dishcloths for Christmas presents, one to represent each month of the year. Today, I give you September’s dishcloth.
This is another one of Rhonda White’s free patterns. Here is a link to the pattern (Apple Cloth). Updated to show the current location of this pattern. Here is a link to the pattern (Apple Cloth)
For this cloth I used my favorite size 6 needles and half a skein of Rouge Red by Peaches & Creme. The pattern provided an optional seed stitch border in the notes section so it will match the others in the set.
Easter Dishcloth – Updated
The first of April, I shared my Easter Dishcloth.
However, I had not taken the time to finish the pattern for publishing. Thanks to Sue, one of my blog readers, I was motivated to finish it. So for anyone else who may be interested here is the finished pattern.
