Under a spell?

Its this dishrag thing. Al is worried. "You're making aNOTHER one mom?" she asked.

I just want to knit more dishrags. I found the circular pattern, (he we go again I'm either knitting in the round or on the round) on The Mielke's Farm website. Perhaps I will knit dishrags the entire month of October.

So what? So what if I bore the few devoted readers I have. So what if I make everyone a dishrag for Christmas. So what? It doesn't mean I have to DO the dishes. I'm making great use of stash leftovers.

Others have had this thing with dishrags come over them. I've read about it on other blogs. My latest idea is to expand it with soft yarn and make one into a baby blanket. Except that would involve a yarn purchase.

Hmmmmm, where can I find a yarn shop? Vicki of Knitorious has a whole list of Wisconsin shops. Debra ofhttp://kitchencotton.blogspot.com/ and Diane the LURKER have given me Minnesota shops. I may just get on my broom and take off.

Did you have a troll doll?

Hey! I'm in MInnesota! Did the other Minnesotans mention the utterly fabulous Yarn Garage (www.yarngarage.com) in Rosemount? Kind of on the fringes of the Twin Cities, but a great, wonderful store with tons of yarn.

I occasionally get bitten by the dishrag bug. They are fast, makes you feel like you have accomplished somthing because it is done in no time.
Happy knitting

I like knitting dish cloths. They are a quick knit and a great way to use up the stash.

I used to have some troll dolls, yours looks quite content there among your dishcloths. I don't think you will ever bore me, your posts are always fun and imaginative.

I like knitting dishrags - it makes me feel like I've achieved something! And it's always useful.
I'm sure I've got a little troll doll somewhere as well. I'm off for a quick dig around the cupoards.

The troll makes the dishrag come alive for sure. :-) Oh... as answer to your question... there is a letter on its way to you by snail mail. Hope it arrives this time.:-)

You knit as many dishrags as you want to, Kathy B Perhaps you can then start knitting them out of something soft and warm, sew them together to make an afghan! There you go! I used to have trolls when I was a kid...even those itty bitty ones from the gumball machines!

I like your dishcloth and your troll witch! I also remember tiny trolls, that you would get out of gumball machines...they never seem to go out of style!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
