Up the Stairs Dishcloth

I love knitting dishcloths. They are quick and inexpensive projects that keep my hands busy. Recently while cleaning out my camera I realized I forgot to share this great set with you.

While these patterns were not originally a set, and were designed by different people, I was able to turn them into a set because they all were approximately the same size.

The first pattern (top left corner) is Up The Stairs Dishcloth by Judith Prindle.

This one knitted up in a flash. Once you got the hang of the pattern the instructions were no longer needed.  A copy of the pattern can be found here.

Other patterns included in the set included Closed Waffle Knit, a Double Bump, and a Fleck Stitch pattern. These will be published soon.

Peppy the Penguin

Introducing Peppy the Penguin!

PenguinI knitted this guy up just before Christmas using #6 needles and some yarn in my stash.  He came out taller than I expected at almost 7 inches, but was worth the effort. My favorite feature is the little feet that allow him to stand on his own.

If you would like to knit up a cute penguin, the pattern can be found here.
