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.

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.

 

The Miranda Hat

A new week is here and summer is slipping away. My summer is slammed packed with activities, but I am trying to catch up on sharing some of my older projects.  Today I am sharing a hat I made for my niece.

I obtained the pattern from the blog Project Stash. The pattern can be found here.

For this hat I opted to use some Red Heart Super Saver acrylic yarn in “Pretty ‘N Pink”.  I loved the pattern of this hat. It knitted up fairly quickly and had just enough variations to keep me interested.

The pattern writer said that it could be made with one skein of yarn. I totally agree I even had enough left over to make a quick headband for my daughter.
