YARN ALONG

A little consideration,
a little thought for others
makes all the difference.

~ Eeyore














Not only am I sock knitting for
Christmas, I am also knitting
many, many dish cloths. Super
easy....

Cast on 40 stitches of cotton
yarn on size 8 needles. Garter
stitch for 22 raised rows and
bind off.  See? Easy!

I use these cloths for everything
from dish washing, dusting, cleaning
mirrors to washing my face and
polishing silver. I love them and have
found they make a nice addition to
a Christmas basket.

I am rereading an old favorite...
Gift of Faith, a book that I find
comfort in when the world becomes
a little too much.

Joining up with Ginny

  11. We are reading Winnie-the-Pooh aloud here and Eeyore just cracks me up; he is like my inner voice and Lyddie says yesterday, "Mom!! Eeyore is soooo grumpy!!!!"
    Lovely basket of cloths, I always mean to knit that many. Maybe I need to find a basket with the specific intent to fill it up, then I will do it. Beautiful pictures and thanks for your prayers! <3

  16. Your basket of wash cloths makes me feel so happy! You are so right, they are so useful but it feels so satisfying to take something so basic and make it by hand and in lovely colours. I think there should be some dishcloth knitting in my near future, too. I just need to find the perfect basket to showcase them, like you did :-)

  19. It's been a while since I've stopped by, I'm so sorry. But I'm glad I'm back. Your pictures are breath taking as always! I love making dishclothes as well and like you, we use them for just about everything. I think my problem is though that I always try and make special little patterns. I should just keep it simple. Maybe I would be able to make more!
