Two days in a row

by barbara waters

Okay, folks . . . let’s try for two days in a row, shall we? ;)

It’s a blustery Sunday afternoon - well, early evening I guess. We’ve had lots of wind today, but since it has blown away the rain clouds, I am not going to complain. We’ve had sun, more sun, and even more sun on this Sunday.

So, what’s up with you and knitting? Myself . . . lots of dish cloths finished and either in the works or planned - planned, you know . . . the patterns have been printed off - now I just have to cast them on and get them done. Sounds like the stuff to do while “watching” tv with the hubby.

Some folks have told me they can’t knit and watch tv - well, surely one of them will suffer. In my case, it’s the watching tv part that suffers. I am basically there next to hubby while he watches. It seems to work out well for both of us.

This is an Alaska dishcloth made for a Ravelry swap. I made two, actually, and sent them off to two different people. I added the “8 stars of gold” in honor of Alaska’s 50th anniversary for statehood. (that is actually 2009, but it is all the news now as the state makes its plans for its “big” birthday bash.) I also did fish cloths (rim shot) in honor of our salmon fishery. Found a pattern for a fishy afghan, did three fish up in dish cloth cotton, sewed them together and there you have it . . . a fishy cloth. They turned out pretty cute, too. See?

Hope my swappees like them. I should be receiving a cloth from two different people (since I chose to send to two, I will receive from two) soon. Well, soon is relative, of course. The deadline to send is the 26th. I started on my cloths right away - only waited to see who I was matched up with in order to choose a ball of cotton to send along with - waited to see what their fave colors were. Some folks appear to have waited until they were matched to decide what to send. It’s all good.

And, hey . . . run over and check out Lessa’s Big Brother Craze! She and I are working together on a little project for a CONTEST!!!!! Stay tuned for more information - and rules - and all that kinda stuff!

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!
