Easter Rooster and Key Lime Pie

Tuesday, March 25th, 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. [...]

Easter cloths for Hannah

Friday, March 21st, 2008

My friend had a little girl, Sarah Elizabeth, last fall. I made her some washcloths in pinks and purples. Recently, Mom told me how much 3 year old Hannah loved the soft cloths, so I decided to make her some of her own. This time I went for bright springy colors.

Cross cloth

I made this cloth for my friend Hillary. She went, with a group from our church, to El Salvador this February. She was the only youth from our church, although there were young people from the other church.

Twins

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

  My childhood best friend had twins at the beginning of January.  A boy and a girl.  I wanted to celebrate this joy for her, even though we aren’t still close.  I had lots of organic cotton left from my Christmas gifts, so I went with some simple striped washcloths.
When I finished the one for [...]

This one is lovely and just the right size (50×40) in Strawberry and Macadamia.

I also finished one in Blueberry and [...]

Baby washcloths

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

I gave my baby washcloth gifts today.  Sarah Elizabeth got a set of 4 and Chloe got 3.  I am really proud of how they turned out.  I hope they are liked by the mommies and the babies.  One of my coworkers saw Sarah’s in my classroom and touched them and squeezed them and told [...]

For little Alora

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

A dear friend from high school and her husband (also a former classmate) had a baby this summer.  She is 6 months old now (at least, I can’t remember when she was born), but I am just about ready to send her a collection of washcloths.  I hope to send her a new one each [...]

Baby washcloths

Monday, November 5th, 2007

I am elbow-deep in baby washcloths. I am several months late with gifts for Alora and nearly on time for Sarah. I am making little sets for each girl. When I am done with these I am going to make some baby bibs for Alyssa’s twins.
Yes, this is my first knitting post, [...]
