LIve from Chicago, its Saturday Niiiiiiiiiight!

I finished the dishrag. I'm not about to make another anytime soon.. I Love the result. But, oh all those knit 2 togethers made my wrists absolutely stiff. Cotton and I don't get along on the needles. Next to my skin, cotton and I are great together. On the needles, I do remember now, cotton and I don't mix. Also this involved a ton of counting....
rag rag rag
yes dishrag..

THe yarn is Lily's Sugar and Creme. THe pattern is Doily Style Dishcloth designer unknown.
Rating Medium. That's their rating. I rate it difficult for the above tension reasons....

I think I need to find a crochet pattern for a dishcloth and fall in love with it. Any ideas my fellow crocheters???

I am off to work now. I got the first 4 hours of my shift off tonight. Yippee only 8 hours in the night. Is it morning yet?





I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Beautiful dish cloth! I love the round ones. I only have one but I noticed that I grab it out of the drawer before the square cloths.

Happy short work night!!

It is VERY cute, but I know what you mean. I didn't used to have these issues (achy wrists and fingers)back when I was, you know .....
younger.

I really have to space out my cotton knitting so I don't get all cramped up.

Great job! Do I foresee some lacy shawl knitting in your future?

I agree that cotton yarn doesn't "give" as much as other yarns, so it creates achy hands and wrists.

That's one really pretty dishcloth! Did you do it on dpns? I get achy fingers when knitting too much also, but even worse when I crochet!? Weird, huh? How's little B doing? Such a cute kitty!

I found the yarn brand I Love This Cotton from Michael's and it's wonderful to work with. K2Tog are not a problem with it!

I'm extremely late with this...but my favorite crochet dishcloth is simple. You crochet a chain as long as you want ( I normally make mine big enough for the hand of the person using it from wrist to tip of longest finger) then crochet around . It with turn back on itself and I slip stick up the center when it touches. If I'm feeling really daring.....at the end I will crochet a chain of 7 or 10 and slip stitch it to itself so I can hang it from a peg if I want to. I've made it with both cotton and acrylic. I love it. :) Just thought I would throw that thought out there.

 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...
