A finish

A couple of years back i started to make a conscious effort to change my lifestyle. One of the things was to stop using bought dishcloths. I started to knit my own but with all things lost interest. However i didn't return to buying the dishcloths i bought knitted ones off someone else. :) A week ago i got the cloth out & finished it.
I started a 2nd one the same night & it's about 1/2 knitted. I also finished putting the top together of Tis The Season. Now to get it quilted.


Happy Stitching,

    What pretty crocheted doilies!! I don't think I'll ever be able to make anything so beautiful. But I have been crocheting my own dishcloths. Your pink knit one turned out great!!

    I crochet my dishcloths, just love them, they just fit my hand better than the flimsy store-bought ones. Your Tis the Season is lovely!! And congrats on your ebay find, I have a ton of those myself, all packed away, sigh...

    Oooo! Such pretty doilies! I have a whole box that were my grammies. I try not to open the box as it still has her "scent" and I want to save it as long as I can. ;)
