May Mid-Month KAL

I finished up the May Mid-Month Dishcloth KAL last night..... Done in Sugar & Cream color Gumdrop on Knit Picks 7's. I added a loop at the top for easy hanging. This will go into the "just in case" box.

I did a dishcloth this month instead of a spare square since they are overflowing the tote!
I hope to start assembling the spare square blankets this week! I need to steam block a few of the squares first and match them all up. If I'm really good, I'll have some to take to the hospital in June. What do you think?

Have a great day!

April Mid Month Dishcloth KAL

April Mid Month KAL, Diamond Drop Lace dishcloth by Knitwits Heaven. Knit in Sugar & Cream, Potpourri Ombre on Knit Picks 7's.

I actually did a dishcloth this month, instead of my squares! When I saw the pattern had a P2tog tbl, I figured I'd take it easy on myself. I'll put it in the gift box since I cannot squish another dishcloth into my kitchen drawer. (I need a bigger kitchen)

I've been up to the shop to help Laura a couple of times since the announcement. There was some stuff I could not let anyone else have (go figure). I'll have to show you later.

Just Keep Knitting.

Happy Easter & April Dishcloth Kal

Happy Easter everyone!

I finished up the April KAL and blocked it yesterday before we went to the in-laws. I did a square and a spare and I think they look pretty good! Remember to get your spare squares in to me for the monthly drawings. Check back to the beginning of April to see the prize for this month.

Now, off to cook a ham.....

Lots of FO's

First up I have my Monthly Dishcloth KAL plus a spare square. The orange is cotton, the purple is Wool Ease. A close up of the lace pattern. This was a lot of fun! Those dishcloth KAL's are a great way to learn new stitch patterns. The moderators make it so easy. P.S. Remember the Spare a Square? (post from 2/7)? I'll be posting a picture of the first prize March 1 with the drawing to be the end of the month.

Next up is my Baby Suprise Jacket KAL with the finished edge. I got a load of good suggestions on how to finish the edge and went with Frauhugs suggestion of a row of crochet matching the color, then there were a few ladies from the knitbabysuprise yahoo group that suggested a crab sittch, which I did in blue all around.
Here is a closer look at the neck with the crab sitch (or backward single crochet)
I'm pleased with how it turned out. Next time I'm going to do Lisa's suggestion (from the knitbabysuprise group) to use my crochet edging as the buttonhole loops.
(Kristy, yes crochet. It really makes a finished edge quickly LOL)

Now I think I would like some nice wooden buttons.....

Last up is a Bunny Blanket Buddy - a free pattern from the Lion Brand Site if you register with them. (for free). I like this! Perfect for those slobbering teething babies! I used Bernat CottonTots , size 7's and size 5's. You can see it just about fits on an 8.5 x 11 inch paper (the bunny is a bit larger) Also, the face looks pretty good too! No angry bunny here! This is for the baby shower for my mom's- cousin's- daughter. (Plus maybe this week I'll do Mary Jane booties)

Now to shovel the ice/snow/slush off the driveway.....
