Knitting

I decided to try my hand at knitting again. I forgot I had that much patience, lol. 

I started with something simple ... a blanket for my niece's baby doll ...

 

I bought this gorgeous multicolor purple wool to knit the blanket with but it turned out to be the sashay wool that you make the frilly scarfs with. So I ended up knitting two scarfs, one for my niece and one for her baby doll. I got the pattern here. They were fairly easy but I don't think I will be doing any more. 

I love butterflies! So I found a butterfly pattern dishcloth to try here ... I some how ended up with two extra stitches in the first dozen or so rows but I had already unraveled it 3 times so I just drop a couple stitches and kept going. You can't see the pattern very well with the multicolored wool though :(.

 

Found another butterfly pattern here. Much happier with my results. (Just don't look up in the corner where I dropped the very last stitch as I was casting off)

 

The last dish cloth that I completed, I found here. Really like this one ...
