I get around

If you're anything like me, you have a constant list of things you'll "get around to" some day. Do you find if you're a crafty individual, applying your craftular talents to own home proves exceedingly difficult? Par example, the lowly washcloth:


This sad state of affairs is the one and only washcloth I have knit for my own home. Really, it's a swatch, the result of my mosaic knitting curiosity. This poor little cloth has been used and abused for months as the primary dish wiper in my kitchen. It was time:


Why did it take me so long to get around to it? Because it was easy.

I'm having a passionate love affair with garter stitch these days.

Pattern: Made it up - garter stitch on the bias, throw in some YO's and stripes,... done.
Yarn: Mayflower cotton 8 held double
Needles: 5mm addi turbos
