I am enjoying KathyB’s dishcloth swap
but it did take a moment for me to get back up to speed with dishcloth
knitting. I started "Triangles" which I thought would
be a super pretty, super easy dishcloth and six rows into it I had a mess! I’m not a newbie knitter either! I’m a dinosaur with two sweaters, a lace
shawl and two pairs of socks on the needles. I think the problem was it is one of those patterns that requires constant counting. How am I supposed to watch TV, talk, hold two dogs and/or listen to an audio book while counting?
Both the left and right (purple)
sides of the stash sweater are finished and I have started the forest green
back. At this rate I think I will finish
it in time for the first sweater day.
I’m also sending her extra
hats for the big donation box they have in the chemotherapy room.
I’m currently reading
Tidewater. It’s about John Smith and
Pocahontas in the early 1600s during the establishment of Jamestown. Fascinating
and fast moving!
Pups send hellos and
sloppy kisses.
Life is not only good,
it is amazing!!

I'm so glad your friend is improving. Sending more good health her way.
My mother has recently asked for another dish cloth, so I will need to get back on that game as well. I have enough leftovers to make more, but i"m so distracted by other things.
I'm with you when it comes to needing a pattern I can easily chat and watch t.v. with!
I love the colors you selected for the dishcloths. I, too, prefer a pattern that doesn't require a lot of concentration.
Since I use a CPAP, I doubt I could keep a sleep cap on my head. It looks comfy, though.
Continued best wishes for Dotti. I love the assortment of hats you're gifting to the chemo center.
So happy she's well. Prayers for Dotti and prayers of Thanksgiving..my favorite kind.
I Too was like newbie when I started my recent dishcloth. What goes on with that? We can knit socks in our sleep and a simple dishcloth looks crappy if you aren't careful! The ones with issues, I keep. Spaghetti sauce is fair game for those
Sending hugs and lots of good thoughts to your friend! Have you thought of making a hat of furry yarn; I did one for a friend and it kind of looked like hair. Glad you like your dishcloths! The Almost Lost pattern is pretty easy to keep track of, once you do it.
