I am late starting the weekly thread that doesn't get posted every week.  How are you all doing? I haven't done much the past week or so. I've been busy unpacking from vacation and getting my work/home back on track. I have too many projects going, plus, I am ready to start another one. LOL My daughter is getting ready to leave for college, and wants me to make her an afghan to match her bedding we picked out. It is turquouise, lime green and gray. I haven't bought yarn yet, but I will hopefully do that this week.
What are you all up to? |

I just finished unpacking after my move and I need to get back to my crochet. I helped a friend move today and I thought I'd like to make her a few of the washcloths with the crocheted edges along with a few bars of some nice soap for her bathroom. OR, maybe I'll crochet her some dishcloths and include some dishsoap and a pretty dispenser to go with it. I'm torn between which she would like more. Decisions, decisions...  |

Those both sound like great gifts! I love to make dishcloths. I've never crocheted one, but I've knitted dozens of them. I love using them, and I love giving them away. I'm sure whatever you decide, she will love it. |

I have never crocheted before, but I just bought some yarn and crochet hooks to make some dishcloths. Does anyone have any tips or tutorials to share?

After learning that my grandma taught me the European style of knitting I re-taught myself how to knit using YouTube. I then knitted 12 dishcloths for friends. A couple had mistakes but I kept those for me i then promptly put it down for 3-4 weeks. during the 5 hour road trip to Canada (one way) last week I picked it up again. I planned to make myself a couple more and wouldn't you know it... I discovered a mistake. I'd have to rip out 10 rows of knitting to fix it so I'm just going to leave it. It doesn't affect the outcome of the dishcloth so I guess I'm destined to only have the mistakes for my personal use  |

Hmmm..... I have 2 shawls to be blocked, and a pair of fingerless mitts on the needles...
and then i broke my wrist last Thursday (slipped on the icy pavement; it's winter here).
So no knitting for me for a while, and i really can't see myself being able to block the shawls for a while, either. Grrrrrrr

I'm on a dishcloth kick. Knitted two over the weekend, and am on the final stages of a crochet starfish dishcloth now. The second round was a bit hard to follow, but once I figured out where she was going with the pattern, it settled in. Starfish Dishcloths |

Finished the learning scarf last night. There is one glaring error in the scarf. So, I'm going to buy a button to cover it. A little quirky. But, it's quirky like me. I even dreamed about the button that should go on it. LOL! The next project recommended was either a hat or bag. I chose the hat. |

I need to start working on my fingerless mittens/texting gloves. It's only July, but the holidays sneak up on you. I've applied to a couple of craft fairs and the gloves are my best sellers so I want to be prepared.

Those starfish dishcloths are adorable! and they work up in no time at all. A couple of hours at the most. I like instant gratification |

You're the fourth person that I've heard of recently that has broken a bone. My carpal tunnel is giving me fits on my right hand. I'm going to probably be having surgery soon.  |

As usual, I'm working on stuff for the holiday craft shows. I have a sock on one set of needles and fingerless gloves on another. To be followed by a hat, a scarf, ornaments, more socks, another hat, etc.
