Anotherey

It's that new half cotton half bamboo and the bamboo side of thigs is as soft as rayon. It's quite like rayon too, I wonder if it will last as long. As in not long.

The pattern is from Monthly Dishcloths. Although, really, would you wash your dishes with it? I think it's a little bit small, so I'm gonna crochet around it, since I'm not scared of crochet anymore after my apron 'break-the-icer'.

My First Facewasher

It turned out a bit skewed. The cables pull it in and I've pressed it to make it this square... AND I more or less followed a pattern too. But there it is, my first ever washcloth as they call it over there. Facewasher. I used a mixture of pink fine cotton with some scrap of green cotton, then with string and then with the new AMAZING bamboo/cotton mix in the lime like green.

That bamboo is incredible! Has anyone made anything with it and washed it and washed it to see how it wears? I want to make everything out of it from now on in.

10 out of 10.

P.S. Next Day: The cables hurt your face!! It's only any use in the bath!

I 'Borrowed' This Off Daughter Number 1

It's too me to give back just yet. If I could find a knitting pattern to emulate it, I would. The Fair-Isle angle is easy...

Can you still buy that knitters graph paper? How easy would that make it!

It's A Happy Day Today!

I walk past the closed Op-Shop in the morning and peer in the window, then again in the evening and I peer again. I saw a couple of these best-design tea-cosies and this one in particular screamed out that it wanted to come and live at my house. I tried to figure out who I could bully into getting it for me and had only one person, but she would have to put the kids in the car or pusher, and make a trek... I didn't ask. But, Tra La! Bonus day-off! New glasses, which I am about to pick up... coffee and a read of the paper at the local coffee shop... the 1am SBS movie looks like it's gonna be just the ticket... Lee Lee's coming over for tea to tell us everything about her trip O.S. and I can't wait to get into my embroidery!

Oh, that reminds me, I went to Kazari yesterday arvo and bought some stuff... I'll show you later...
