Swiffer Cover

This is an awesome thing! It's a knitted swiffer cover. I got this pattern from a wonderful member of my monthly dishcloth group. Her name is Sarah and she shares the pattern on her blog. It can be found here http://www.sheepofadifferentcolor.com/swiffercoverknitted.htm

It's so much better than the store bought sheets. I'm making another one so that I always have one clean. You just toss them in the washer and dryer and they're ready to use again. And I can use up my leftover cotton yarn...they don't even have to match. She's such a smart woman.

Here's a photo of the bottom....this one is actually pretty, I think.

My sister has already put in her "order" for two. And I am going to adjust the pattern so that I can make a couple for my Swiffer Wet Jet. I like the Swiffer fine but my Wet Jet is my favorite. I absolutely love that thing. We'll see how it works with that one as well. Would be a lot cheaper than buying the refill sheets in the store. Thanks Sarah! I'm so glad you shared the pattern with us.

New Patterns Posted On Dishing Knit Out

I got the new patterns posted on the Dishing Knit Out site....must have been a blog issue. This is a photo of the Choo Choo pattern. I got the Rocket pattern up as well. And I actually got Day 1 of my KAL done. It's turning out so pretty. I was having some problems with the p2tog tbl. I tend to knit tight so it was hard to get my needle in there at that awkward angle. A fellow group member shared a tip she learned and it has made all the difference. I was dreading starting over but doing it her way is so much easier and I'm actually looking forward to finishing it. I'm going to get back to my knitting and I hope you like the new patterns.

New Patterns For Sale

I have 2 new dishcloth designs for sale that I intended to post today on the Dishing Knit Out site but I seem to be having some issues with uploading photos tonight. After several unsuccessful attempts, I have decided to wait until tomorrow and try again. So sorry for the delay. I was really looking forward to getting them up on the site. I think I may have to delete the photos I have and start over. Maybe they're trying to tell me something.....like my photos aren't very good. lol I will work on it in the morning and hopefully get it figured out as early as possible. Then maybe I will actually be able to work on my KAL (I am still so far behind) and on to test knitting the next design that I have written out. Still have 2 more waiting on a test knit.

Easter Egg Dishcloth

I knitted this cute Easter Egg dishcloth and gave it as a gift. It was designed by Kayleen Clements. She is sharing the pattern on her blog...http://kayleenknits.blogspot.com/ . This picture does not do it justice...it's got some really nice detail that doesn't seem to show well in my photo.

I was hoping to have my next freebie ready to post today, but I had to make some minor adjustments. Have to do another test knit and then I hope to have it posted tomorrow. It's a design for my 2 year old nephew, Killian. I don't want to say too much and give it away. I want it to be a surprise. I will only say that it would probably look best done in purple...lol. Okay, that should be a dead give-away to anyone who knows what 2 year olds are into. Check back soon, I promise to have it up ASAP.
