Knitted Dishrags

I have been for the past few months knitting dishrags off and on. Now I have been trying out new patterns  and have found ones I like and a couple that I did not.


These are some dishrags I have made from a pattern I have been knitting for a long time. They are very easy to make and are quicker than most. I was at an event where someone had a booth selling handmade items and she had these dishrags. I could not believe how much she was selling them for, only 1 dollar. That might be what the yarn might of cost but she did not take into account her labor. I thought it was too cheap. I did not buy any because I have so much of that yarn I need to use up, but it would of save me some time.
Here is the pattern for these dishrags;
Cotton yarn (Sugar and Spice) and size 9 needles
Cast on 4 stitches
1st row; K2, yo, K2
Next row; K2, yo, Knit rest of stitches.  You will do this row each time and will be increasing. Increase until you have 50 stitches
Now K1, K2 tog, yo, K2 tog, k rest of row.
Continue until 4 stitches remain, bind off.


These dishrags I liked a lot, found the pattern for the blue one on Ravelry. It is a great site for finding patterns that both free and ones you'll have to pay for.
  I found the pattern for the yellow one on the Sugar and Spice label that comes on the skeins. 

Now these I did not like, too big, and  if I were to do them again I would use a smaller needle and not make as many rows.
I plan on using all of these dishrags as part of some kitchen sets I'm giving away for Christmas.
When I get all the different items made that  I plan on putting in the set, I'll post them with pictures. I had done something like this a while back, so it time to do it again.

Till next time

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
