96: 9-patch dishcloth of left-over love

Thanks to the gals at MDK, I was so deeply smitten with the ballband washcloths that I tried the 9-patch as well. It's definitely my weirdest washcloth, but very beautiful. I very slowly worked away at the ends for awhile, forgot about it for a few months when I moved, then finished it in a burst. What can I say: with no deadline, I'm lazy.


It's made up of leftovers from all over: turquoise cotton bought for Stacy's cellphone cozy, white cotton bought (but not used) for the Henry Rollins doll, variegated cotton from the Boy's "I will only buy yarn for 3 dollars or less" knitting phase and what remains of the green cotton for Pixie's pixie hat. It's rather lovely.

92: 5-4-3-2 once i knit a cloth of blue

completed june 3.

The house insanity continues with the newest addition to the washcloth family! I love the nubby feel of these washcloths, so I made another one to match the Blake's bathroom. Leftover cottons were "carefully" selected for only the finest decor-matching schmatta. But seriously, folks...I shouldn't find it odd that all these colours were hanging around my stash; of course I'm going to buy colours that I like. The Boy gets credit for the pastel variegated and for pressing the completed cloth into service immediately, Mason-Dixon Knitting gets credit for the pattern, and I get credit for making it in the first place.
