New Dish/Wash Cloths

I have done 2 more cloths the Cross was easy as I had tried to do the Praying Hands & two thirds of the way I realised I had gone wrong but couldn't see which row I had either done twice or jumped a row as I was doing odd when I should be doing even rows i just got lost in the rows so I got a magnetic board with strips so I could move down as I did the rows.

But in the mean while I did the cross which was as I said much easier this was in a leisure Arts book which can be got at   Amazon  You should be able to get this book on your countries Amazon



The Praying Hands cloth is available on Ravelry or Knitwits Heaven  this pay be a paying pattern


 I will be starting Aran knitting now as we have booked to go to Scotland on a coach holiday in Late October so need some winter Woollies to take with me

More Knitting

I been doing more knitting I did a seed Stitch Towel i used the Palm Beach dish/washcloth pattern which i shared which you can find  at   what i did for the towel was add 20 stitches i did 10 rows & 10 stitches either side in garter stitch before starting the seed/moss stitch then when to required length i did 10 rows of garter stitch the finish is approx 13.5 x 17.5 inches


I have also done a   Paw Cloth   i have used a thinner cotton i am not sure if the paw does show up


I am hoping to do some quilting items i been getting some Christmas fabric well waiting for most to come i also got some books one arrived today still waiting on the other Christmas book both are quilting ones
I am putting the cloths in my gift stash, as i been doing it that i have to do at least one gift a month so do get to go before Christmas if i need a gift but am building a Christmas gift stash i been also buying in little bits which will go for gifts & swaps that i am doing

So at least i will be ready for Christmas plus no sudden big outlay.

I have been getting as i said fabric but also some thread for FMQ plus some yarns some is cotton for the wash cloths ect but also 3 lots of Aran so i can knit myself some garments all came out of money i had for my birthday
