So, I never said I’m the fastest crafter (any type of craft) but man! I disappeared (as in didn’t even turn on the computer yesterday until after hubby got home from work) and this is what I have to show for it! Well, I do get easily distracted and have been working on a creative something in my head (will post pictures once I figure out how to do it and get it done … have to devise some sort of frame) so that may explain the multiple attempts at the one (yes, just one) knitted wash cloth. I kept dropping stitches and messing up the pattern. That’s why I didn’t have the computer on at all yesterday. That was the only way I could concentrate enough to finally get it done.
The two green and one tan were crocheted using this pattern. The tan one looks used, well, because it is. I wanted to try it out in the shower. See, I wanted something that would really scrub my skin, so that one is wool (don’t freak out … it’s not fancy wool. I had barely half a skein of something labeled “Mothproof 100% Virgin Wool Knitting Worsted” from Kmart … the price tag says it cost $1.07 so that should tell you how old it is … got this one in the grab bag of yarn from the thrift store). It worked well except my fingers kept poking through the holes in the pattern. All the other yarn is acrylic. Here’s a close-up:
The burnt orange on is knitted with this pattern. I love the way it turned out and would have been even better if I hadn’t lost track of which side I was on and got the pattern backwards. Oh, well. This is why I am not selling the fruits of my crochet and knit labors. 🙂
Time to catch up on all my emails (and Facebook posts) that I’ve neglected. Once I finish that, it’s onto something creative. I really want to paint something but currently do not have the right paints (I need something for wood and/or metal). I just haven’t gotten that far in the planning stages for those projects. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
