Another DW Cloth!


I was visiting a friend recently, and while I was at her house I knit another DW cloth for her. I really love this yarn. The colorway is called Midnight Magic and it is by Sugar 'n Cream. I think I need to purchase more of this colorway for myself. ;)

February 1 KAL - Valentine Candy Box


This one had me fooled until about row 40, and then I finally figured out it was a picture of a box of chocolates. How clever!

I used size 7 bamboo needles. I think for the picture cloths I need to use smaller needles from now on so the pictures show up better.

ChemoAngels Patient is Graduating

My ChemoAngels patient has finished her chemotherapy and is graduating from the program. I am so happy for her! I am sending her a "graduation" present of a cute pink dishcloth and a composition book that I turned into a journal. I hope she likes them and that she lives a long and healthy life!

January Exchange Received


I received this awesome dishcloth in the January exchange. I absolutely love lime green, and I also love the fact that the year is on this cloth. What a clever idea!

24 Dishcloth Challenge for 2008

I belong to an awesome online knitting group called Monthly Dishcloths. We have two KALs (knit-a-longs) each month. We are starting a challenge to do all 24 dishcloths this year. I just finished the first one, which just happened to be my now *infamous* football dishcloth. I did this one in orange for a swap I am in for another group.

Lovely as a Tree Christmas


This beautiful card was made by my friend Suezette. It looks so much prettier in real life because she used glitter on the trees. Thanks, Suezette! ;)

Simply Circles Birthday

I belong to an online community of rubber stampers at Split Coast Stampers. They post a lot of stamping challenges, which I like because it helps my creativity.

I recently combined two challenges to make this card:


The first challenge is called Featured Stamper. It involves looking at another member's gallery and choosing a card to copy. I chose FS42 (TexasGranny) and loved the use of circles on this card. I then chose a color challenge (CC143) to decide the colors I would use for the paper and ink. The colors are Summer Sun, Certainly Celery, and Old Olive. I love how it turned out!

Thanks Again, Monkey!

My online friend, Monkey, sent me a goody box this week with some yarn, needles, a knitting book, and a couple of cute dishcloths. Thanks, Monkey, you are such a sweetie!


DW Cloth in Sagebrush


This awesome DW dishcloth was created with Lion Brand cotton yarn in a colorway called Sagebrush. I just love how these colors work together in this cloth. ;)
