Challenge!

by

petalcloth A challenge was posted in the dish cloth knit along group yesterday morning. The first person to complete FOUR specific dishcloths would be given two free skeins of dish cloth cotton yarn.

Well . . . I had not done the featured cloths before, and I am always up for something FREE, especially if it is of the yarny goodness variety. So, I copied off the patterns and settled down for some ME time . . . my own form of “self-care” that we preach to the guys who attend our Batterers Intervention Program re-education classes.

Hubby was working yesterday morning, so I would not be taking time away from him. I had yarn from the wally’s run he and daughter made a week ago. I had the laundry started. There was NO reason I could not settle in for some marathon knitting.

It helped that there were a couple of good movies on the telly yesterday as well. (Great Expectations with Robert DeNiro was one of them.)

By the time hubby had come home from work I had one cloth completed (first picture) and the next one well under way. I finished it after fixing and eating dinner - and while we watched tv together. (He really doesn’t care what I do - he just likes having me in the same room with him while he snores in his chair - lol)

I started the third cloth before going to worship service this morning - finished it afterwards while waiting for hubby to come home from work. (He works as a caregiver for two different agencies - part time.)

I cast on and completed the last cloth while cooking dinner this afternoon.

Competitive much?
;)
Yup, that’s me. Challenge me and watch me go.

Here are the pics of the other three cloths:

    you know… there are things to be done for competitiveness. BUT… I don’t think that blinders would help in this case. that just might make you more focused…. : )

    They are PERTAY mom….

    I am always amazed at the work your hands do. and not just in knitting!

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
