Well, I've been learning to tat...both needle and shuttle. It's interesting and in its own way relaxing. Somewhere on my computer, I have a few pictures of what I've been working on. Hopefully I can get them posted soon.

I'm back again... :)

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but you all know how life tries to interfere...but I did complete my Associate's degree in Computer Information Systems last week! Woohoo!!

I'll make an honest attempt to keep this updated on a regular basis.

There have been 5 comments posted about the Mystery cloth and all have come from someone posting a link to this site. It's nothing but a potential virus, as far as I'm concerned. Please beware.

I'm deleting the posts as soon as I receive notification.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The mystery cloth is no longer a mystery!

Thanks to Marianne for pointing me in the right direction! I actually had the site bookmarked, but there was a '~' where there wasn't supposed to be, so the link wouldn't work. Here's the link, and the pattern is called Flying Geese. http://www.jimsyldesign.com/dishbout/kpatterns/knit4.html

Now I can finish it up! It's already twice as long as tin the picture. LOL

Another WIP :)

The pattern is from E-Patterns Central, called Summer Blouse. The yarn I'm using is Plymouth Fantasy Naturale...no color names, just the numbers...9001 and 9002. Mercerized cotton, and it's so pretty! Can't wait to get it done so I can show it off! ;)

WIP: center panel for simple top

One of 'in process' projects...this is the center panel for a simple top with cap sleeves. Don't ask...the pattern is in my head (it's somewhere in there!), but the idea for the top came from one of the cloths on Cloth of the Week (Yahoo group). I fell in love with the pattern and decided that I could do more with it. This panel was done in Peaches & Creme Shaded Pastels, and the rest of the top is going to be done in Peaches & Creme Baby Blue. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can manage to get the gauge matched up so I can do the rest on my knitting machine. :)

Mystery cloth...please help!

I started this cloth and have somehow managed to lose the pattern...maybe I put it up and forgot where 'up' was. If anyone knows wat this pattern is, please email me and let me know where I can get it again....I can't even remember the name of it. Pathetic, huh?

March cloths

Another first! Illusion cloths...they're interesting to do and they sure do draw comments.

February cloths

This is the first time that I've used 2 colors and carried both up the sides...a lot easier than I thought it would be! I kept each color in a separate baggie so they wouldn't get tangled so bad, and it seemed to work well.

January Monthly Dishcloths

Ok, it's been a while...

I'm finally getting around to posting pics of a *few* of my cloths. :) Better late than never!

Cable cloth pics...finally!

I wasn't sure that I would finish the August mid-month cloth....had never done cables before. But they're a lot easier than I ever imagined! Had so much fun with it that I've now made 3 of them!!

The pink one was done with SnC stripes and the orange one was done with PnC. Yes, the pink one is a little shorter because I ran out of yarn.

Dudley the Dolphin

I made this cloth with Knit Pick's Cotlin yarn. I know the detail isn't very good in the picture (lousy camera), but the yarn is really nice to work with. It's just a little thinner than PnC or SnC...maybe a DK weight. No matter, I *like* it!

CinDWood 48" S-Loom

Here are pics of the 48" S-Loom made by CinDWood. The lapghan on it at the time was made with Red Heart Super Saver in Wedgewood. Now that it's finished, I can hardly get it away from my mom!

Shame on me!

Weakness prevails again! I know I shouldn't have visited my LYS, but since I'd never been there before, I figured, why not?

Mass. Ave. Knits is a wonderful store! Helpful people, beautiful yarn, and a room devoted to sale/discontinued yarns....*sigh* So much yarn, so little time!

Thank heavens for gift cards that I'd been holding onto...Pictures to come with all my new pretties

More cloths!

I've finally gotten some pictures of a few cloths I've made.....I know, it's about time, isn't it? LOL

So many dishcloths, so little time!

Indiana Pacers

Butterfly in Flight

I guess if you look hard, you can see the butterfly...I'll keep on trying to get better pictures. This one was made with Bernat Handicrafter cotton.

Bernat Handicrafter WW Cotton

I recently purchased a few skeins of the Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. After using a couple of the skeins for dishcloths, I have found that it's a bit thicker than Peaches & Cream or Cream & Sugar. The colors are very nice, and the cotton is fairly soft, but the Handicrafter doesn't seem to be twisted as tight as the other two yarns (meaning that it's easy to split it while knitting, if you're not careful).

Just my opinion, but I thought I'd share.

The Teddy Bear cloth

It's a little frustrating that the design that's in the cloth is so hard to see....I guess I'll have to get my good camera out and retake all of the pictures. There are several cloths that I want to share, but you can't really see them. Oh well, try, try again. :)
