The pattern for these dishcloths can be found at the Yahoo! group Knitted Kitty Dishcloths. They were made using various cotton yarn in varying needle sizes.
Needle: Size 8 16inch circs and size H crochet hook
Yarn: Bernat Softee Chunky in Faded Denim 2 skeins
Seed stitch the button band for about six rounds. Crochet the straps with size H hook because I was sick of knitting by this point. :) I just need to find some pretty fabric for the lining.
Pattern can be found here.
Needles: Size 8 29" circs
Yarn: Lion Brand's Vanna White in Navy & Linen
First time working fair isle and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. My tension was tight so the bag came out a bit lumpy. :/ Other than that, it was an easy knit and I most like will make another bag with a different yarn.
This has probably got to be the easiest fair isle pattern I've ever came across. It's not too much and it's only two colors. A perfect beginner's pattern. And it's Harry Potter, a definite plus. I'm loving it. I'm doing it it Ravenclaw colors, of course. The pattern can be found at Rosemary Waits.
So, I finally have some more FO's to post. First is Mason-Dixon's Ballband Dishcloth. I was a very easy knit and I plan to make a few more of these for gifts.
One ball each of Lily's Sugar & Cream in Midnight Magic & Hot Purple on size 7 needles.
Next is Zephyr Style's Wicked. I took such bad notes on this pullover, I'm surprised I was able to finish it. I started it in February but I put it off because the weather in Miami was way too hot to work on a sweater.
6 skeins of Lion Brand's Wool-ease in Chocolate.
Size 44"-47"
Size 8 29" circs for body
Size 8 16" circs for sleeves
Size K crochet hook for binding off.
Mods: I made the short sleeved version of Wicked instead of the long sleeved version. I used one circ for the sleeves instead of dpn's. I also added increases for my hips. Next time I'll add the increases immediately after the decreases then knit a few rows. I probably do the crossover rib instead of seed stitch to match.
This was my first sweater and the pattern was very easy to follow. It won't be my last.
She was made with some cheap (and I do mean cheap) acrylic yarn and I used beans for the lower half of her body and her hands and feet.
I've been designing dishcloths while my internet was out this week. I was able to get two designs down. Both were based on patterns found in a stitch dictionary I have laying around.
I think I'll do a couple more.
A little dishcloth I made for my little cousin who loves anything trains and trucks. Pattern is from Wicket Stitch. If only I could find a train pattern now....
I have some more amigurumi to post. These four little birdies
A very easy pattern from the Bittersweet Blog.
When I first saw amigurumi, I thought it was quite difficult. But I looked at some of the patterns, including the Japanese ones, and you know what? It's really simple. If you know the basic symbols, everything is a breeze.
This is the completed dishcloth for the Monthly Dishcloth KAL on Yahoo. It's the sun. Simple pattern but I was hoping for something with a little more....oomph. But it's okay. I'll find something. In fact, I have something. I might work on it this week. :)
