20 squares, 6 wash clothes and Little Town on the Prarie


My new multi-coloured blanket is now up to 20 squares.


I am busily restocking my supply of 
washing clothes -
the white for bathing, 
the coloured ones for dish washing. 
It is part of my Christmas-making in July :).

I thoroughly enjoyed
How much Christian civilisation shows up
and how much history and decency!
And such a great story... I love how it builds...
I do wish these books to long maintain
on everyone's reading lists.

I am hoping to work on my goddaughter's quilt again soon;
I also got some new fabrics to quilt with for later!
A third quilt I am thinking of,
as well as contemplating some smaller items.

What are you reading and creating?
Do yarn along with us!

  1. Which washcloth pattern are you using, Elizabeth?

  2. Hi Elizabeth, I am doing the simple one - start with three stitches, increase until you like the middle length and then decrease by one until you are done! Similar to these that I did before: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ElizabethRoosje/starting-with-three-stitches--dish-clothes except that I am not at all counting the stitches! :) The yarn I use is the same, sugar and cream and perfect, very absorbent!

  3. Looking good! I need to make some face/dish cloths too. Either that or have another wedding reception and get new linens :)

  4. knitted washcloths are my favorite! The ones currently in my drawer are looking rather old and worn, so I guess I should knit up some new ones sometime soon! So glad you are enjoying the Little House books! :)

  6. As much as like to crochet wash/dishcloths, I do love the softness of a knitted one.
