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.

appleThis 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.

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.

Snood, Take 2

In April, I showed you the Snood I made for my niece. (See the post here).

While visiting her this summer, she requested I make her another one.

Purple Snood

I used the same Snowflake Pattern, but this time I made the small snood. I believe it fits much better. I used Caron Simply Soft Party yarn in Purple Sparkle from my stash.

She loves it and wears it to ice skating lessons.

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that the link to the Snowflake Snood Pattern by Lucia R. Hicks is no longer available.

July Dishcloth

Here it is July. I can hardly believe summer is almost half over. My determination to knit a different dishcloth each month to include in my Christmas gift sets continues.

July Dishcloth

For this dishcloth I used my trusty size 6 needles and a skein of Bernat 100% cotton yarn. The color is “Torrent” or navy blue for those of us who are less technical. The pattern is by Emily Jagos, and can be found for free here.

Hope you enjoy and happy knitting.
