Wash Cloths on Parade


Lots of crafting has been going on here. I'm still working on the pink apron dress, and I'm also knitting a pair of hand warmers for my chilly home and chilly office. I've also been doing lots of baking and cooking-- my skills are continuing to improve and I'm actually starting to enjoy it.

I thought I would show you some of the wash cloths in that stack on my dresser I mentioned a few weeks ago. 

 
 
This one is my favorite. The stitch is called  bee stitch and it is very, very addictive, although I had to watch three different videos to learn how to knit one below. I can't remember the name of this yarn, but I love it and want to buy more. I think it would be perfect for a lap blanket. Fortunately I do remember where I bought it, so I should be able to find it again.


The above wash cloth is feather and fan. The pattern for this is located HERE.


Double Bump Washcloth. I was hooked on this pattern until I discovered the bee stitch. It looks good in self-striping yarn.


This last one is a classic wash cloth knit on the bias. It is definitely not addictive; in fact, it's extremely boring in my opinion. But it turns out beautiful.

Tomorrow I have the whole day to myself, so hopefully I'll make good progress on my WIPs.  Have a happy Sunday.

I want to learn the bee stitch, it is a great looking pattern and you are right, it would make a wonderful blanket.
I hope enjoy your day off tomorrow, we will be hard at work here.

I can see why you wouldn't want to use them - they're gorgeous! I love the double bump and, of course, the feather and fan (you taught me how to knit that pattern!).

Hey, did you see this? http://www.pickles.no/everyday-tops

It made me think of you. It would be perfect for Lily :)

Love them all. I'm working on a little baby doll blanket for my girls. Well, actually, I'm working on two at the same time. Washcloths are next. I bought some yarn made of seaweed so we'll give that a try.

Boring is sometimes good LOL. (Besides, those garter stitch ridges make for good scrubbing action.) Looks like you've been busy and having fun -- they're beautiful!

I love all of them, especially the Bee stitch. Lately cotton has been bothering my hands so I've been avoiding it. But maybe I could just knit a few rows a day?
