Easter Rooster and Key Lime Pie

By Knitty Cat | March 25, 2008

Tony’s gramma loves roosters. She has them all over her house. Last year I made her a yellow daffodil wash cloth for Mother’s Day and although she doesn’t use it, I thought I would make her another dishcloth. I found a pattern for Rodney the Rooster online and whipped it up. I had a few stitches on Friday and finished the rest on Saturday. I was knitting on the drive to her house, but I get easily car sick, so I had to take breaks. I hadn’t finished it yet when we got there so I kept knitting even as we visited. Each time someone asked I said, “Shhh…” and pointed to Gramma. When she asked, I just hid the cloth and pretended I didn’t know what she was talking about. We put it in her Easter basket the next day.

While we were there, Tony’s aunt put in a request for a green cloth. She didn’t get one at Christmas (stupid gift kerfluffle) so I was ready to make her one. I cast on while we were still at Gramma’s, but didn’t finish before they left. I mailed it to her when I was finished. I called it Key Lime Pie, because that’s what we have for Easter dessert, but then I realized that was the actual name of the yarn.

I have been knitting since January 2006. I like to make small quick things like dishcloths and baby bibs that I can give as gifts.

I have an impressive yarn stash for someone who hasn't been knitting very long. I also have a vast needle collection and a growing bookshelf.

I have created only one pattern of my own, but it was made with a copyrighted image, so I can't share it with you.
