Dish Rag Tag

I'm late posting again...nothing new for me lately. :P I was tagged second on our team for the Dish Rag Tag. The box took way too long getting here. I received it, finally, on Friday. I knitted like a crazy person to get it done and back out on Saturday morning. We have to live up to our name....Phaster Than Phelps.

Here is the box with instructions, pattern and my goodies. The candy is gone...was gone before I finished knitting my cloth to put in the box. I love my cloth that was knitted my tagger...Susan in Tx.

Susan sent me this cute and useful button. It has instructions on how to do Kitchener stitch. Awesome! I've haven't seen any of these around here and I do like it. I'll keep it handy for sock knitting. :)

She also included these beautiful stitch markers. I love them! I love the colors! I used them while I was knitting the pattern for the Dish Rag Tag. :) You just can't have too many lovely stitch markers.

The box is off again and on it's way to the next stop. I totally forgot to take a photo of it going into the post office. :P I sure hope it travels faster this time.

I've done no knitting at all for two days. I have a stinking cold again and it's not even winter yet. Spent today feeling kinda yucky so to cheer myself up...I set up my cute little sewing machine and played around with that for a bit. I just need one little thing to finish off my first project. I'll post some photos tomorrow to show it off. It's a little rough but I'm pretty proud of it anyway.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
Hugs!

Springtime Baby Blanket

I finally finished my Ravelympics project. Woo Hoo! I originally planned to do two but decided against the other one since things have been so crazy around here. All these sicks children have really stressed me out. I think it's time to take a break.

This is my Springtime Baby Blanket. I knitted it with I Love This Yarn in Orchid. I used a US Size 10 needle to give it a bit a drape....baby blankies should be soft and cuddly. The first photo was taken inside and it's pretty true to color.

This photo wast taken outside and you might need to click it and make it bigger. Yeah, the blanket isn't properly blocked but you can see the design pretty well when you enlarge it. :p
I've put it up for sale on my Dishing Knit Out blog and also on Ravelry for $3.00.

Sick update....Ms Thang had a stomach virus and strep throat...she's feeling much better now and goes back to school tomorrow. Skaterboy has a pretty bad ear infection but is also feeling much better today. He's going back to school tomorrow too. Mama needs some quiet time!! It's impossible to relax when the kids are sick.

Still waiting on my Dish Rag Tag box. I've been tagged already but the box isn't here yet. :( I am so ready to get it knitted and sent back out. I want my team to win this thing!! My team is Phaster Than Phelps.

Hugs!
