A Dishrag Christmas

By -



Something compelled me to knit a dishcloth for my sister-in-law' s basket of goodies. A simple slip stitch dishrag. It is the Darrell Waltrop knitted cloth pattern. Fun, fast and furious that's the way around here currently. I'm using up the stash. Hoping for more from Santa, so I' have to make some room right??

We went to a Chicago neighborhood filled with lights tonight. One of our traditions . This little tree house was new to us this year, and adorable. I wish it would snow. I know I am in the minority here..but I need a little snow......for Christmas you know!

Don't you like a little snow with your Chrstmas dishrag???


I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

The tree house is so cute and festive! I would like a little snow but that's not going to happen here. We are having plenty of rain though. Hardly rates a Ho HO HO!!

I just can't get into the Christmas spirit without snow! Last night, it THUNDERSTORMED here in Rochester... what a downer! One of my professors is using it as evidence of global warming.

If you count small, white patches on the lawn, then yes, I have snow on the ground.

Dishcloths are always a welcomed and appreciated gift.

 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...
