Poor Shaun! He returns to school Monday, and his last week of summer vacation ought to spent doing fun outside things! I had to reschedule a Dip and Knit Poolside Party with my 2 girlfriends from high school for Thursday. Looking forward to some sun and 90 degrees again!
AMAZING! I just received the identity of my Secret Pal 11 and LO AND BEHOLD! A mysterious package came for me in the mail on Saturday from my Secret Pal 11! What a spoiler! A SWIFT!! JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED but have been too cheap to buy for myself!!! Look how my Ball Winder gazes upon it with longing!!! THANK-YOU SP11 PAL !!
A very sweet note accompanied the gift! Boy! This gal is on the ball! I better get my procrastinator butt in gear and start my spoilee package ASAP!
Monday's mail brought more goodies! I opened a package full of beautiful cloths and an array of colorful posties sent from my Monthly Dishcloth 3rd Quarter Exchange pal, Sharon. Thanks so much, Sharon! I adore your handiknitwork. Both are perfect colors for my kitchen! The pattern is called Reiko's Japanese Spider Lace and can be found here at K1P1 Keeping You In Stitches Studio.
I took some time to knit some cloths with the ball of red, white and blue SNC STRIPES that I received from Karen during our Dog Days Of Summer Exchange! I strayed from my passion for ballbands long enough to knit these in Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth pattern. I liked how this yarn stripes so much I went out and bought a few more in different colors. The red, beige and green one is called Holiday and is meant to be gifted to a friend!
I really like how this yarn stripes! I'll try a mitered square next time.
Well, until the weather improves, guess what we'll be doing!
Happy knitting, Gentle Knitter!

Your cloths are very pretty. I love how your grandma's cloths turn out so square! Everytime I make one, I get one corner that's a little pointier than all the rest!
A swift for a swift knitter; very appropriate.:)Wonderful job on the G's Favorite cloths! I agree, they're about the best looking ones I've seen. I just bought the stripes yarn today and can't wait to cast on for a little bag for soap giving. Knit on, Mrs. B!
The SNC STRIPES yarn is perfect for grandma's favorite..Oh...the pssibilites...
happy knitting :)
p.s. I'm bad, bad, typist!! Too early yet ;)
I hope that your last weekend was filled with sunshine - as opposed to the one before. But then... I am sure you spent it indoors winding all your yarn into balls. Lucky you!
I just sent my son off to school. Boo hoo... he is my baby and a freshman in high school this year! I tried to hold him back to middle school but he wouldn't do it. Where does the time go?
I can't wait to see what project is in store for you next!
Have a wonderful week~
Wow! What a great spoiler you have there. I too need to get busy spoiling my SP 11 pal. Your stash photos are awesome too!
