It's going to be a different kind of MAKING week for me.
I won't be home much.
My son is having surgery and I'd LOVE to sew as I wait...
but I think this little knitting project will suit.
It's just a little dishcloth with a twist on the Basket weave pattern.
I like to play around with stitches on these small projects
and just see what happens!!!
I have LOTS of color to choose from!
Hmmmm...
How many of these balls will I pack in my bag???
;)
And, I'm sure you KNOW...
this won't be the only project I pack!!
Because....
MAKING is BEST when there are at least THREE things going at ONCE!!
I already have this one complete.
I thought it would be nice to send this along to one of my
blogland friends!!!
It's SO LITTLE....but....
If you'd like to have something pretty and practical...
leave a note and I'll choose a number at the end of the week.
It's a VERY SMALL thank you for your visits here
and for your KIND words!
I'm thankful for YOU!
What are YOU making this week???

I would love to win your dishcloth, but if not, I've already won through the gift of your pattern! Knitting dishcloths is such a great portable project. Hope your son's surgery goes well. Praying for a speedy and complete recuperation!
ReplyDeleteFirst I wall, prayers for your son and a quick recovery! I am a very beginner knitter and want to thank you for your pattern! Definitely will be trying it! And I'd love love love to have one of your beautiful dishcloths!!🙋🏻💞
ReplyDeleteThanks for the dishcloth pattern. I need to finish the one already on the needles before I start another one though. Prayers for you and your son. Blessings, Gretchen villacrestfarm@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI love the colours of those yarns, just beautiful! I have been following your blog for a while and would love to have something that you make but I'm all the way in Perth, Western Australia so draw again if my name comes up .. lol
ReplyDeletePrayers for successful surgery. I love the colors in your dishcloth and would love to win it. Doris dmiller124atattdotnet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern. Kitted cotton dish cloths are the best.

Hope the surgery is successful and all goes well for your son. Those colors are luscious. What type/brand cotton yarn do you use? I've had some that says it is worsted weight but is way too thick for the needles suggested. Yours looks thinner, thus better for a dish cloth. Sign me up for the giveaway too!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your son's surgery is something minor? You'll be in my thoughts and prayers this week. As for the knitting, I don't know how to do that and I'm pretty sure I stand a better shot at learning to speak Chinese than learning how to conjure up dish cloths out of thin air and yarn. That is one of those skills that amazes me!
ReplyDeleteI hope your son has a speedy recovery. Those yarn colors are so pretty! I haven't knitted for years but I might just give this pattern a go! Thanks for hosting!

ReplyDeleteHope all will go well with your son's surgery. Nothing like a little making as a stress buster. I have been making tiny gift bags. Thinking ahead to a certain celebration in December.
ReplyDeleteYour yarns are such pretty colours and this looks like the perfect portable project. Wishing your son a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
