In January I began knitting a set of twelve dishcloths for Christmas presents this year. Not surprising to anyone but myself, I was up to the wire knitting. I did complete 2 sets of dishcloths and most of the third. My poor sister received an IOU for the remaining dishcloths.
I want to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you. When I began blogging, I was unsure where this adventure would go. I did not tell anyone I blogged, for I was uncertain and afraid – what would I write about; would anyone want to read what I wrote; how long would this interest last (a few months?).
Yet here I am almost two years later, and I now have 100 followers. Compared to some big name blogs this is pretty crummy, but it makes my heart swell. I have intentionally not told any of my friends that I blog, and most of my extended family is still in the dark. So each of you is a complete stranger to me. Yet, you encourage me to keep writing.
Lately, I have been sharing a lot of my knitting projects; if you stopped by to see them there are more coming. But I feel I have neglected my other interests. I have several posts planned, but am struggling to find the time to sit and write. I dream of days when I will be able to do that.
If this is your first time stopping by or you follow me, thank you for encouraging me to continue to share the projects that I am working on. If you have just stumbled upon this page, you may want to check out some of my top posts.
The Pioneer and Patriot unit had an ornament exchange at their Unit Christmas Party. Each girl was asked to make an ornament. I found this cute guy and had to make one.
Here it is three and a half weeks till Christmas, and I have completed the December dishcloth in my series.
I was unable to find a pattern that I liked so I designed my own. I hope you find it useful. I used my favorite number 6 needles and half a skein of Peaches and Creme cotton yarn in Forest Green.
I usually post the dishcloth for the month at the first if the month, but with my hat series I am a little behind. In honor of Thanksgiving day my set includes this adorable turkey.
A copy of this free pattern can be found here.
