I’ve GOT to Knit This
Isn’t this just the cutest tank top and cardigan combo?! Of course I had to purchase them – Drunkknitter is an amazing designer, look at those cables!

I bought 3 skeins of 100% cotton ‘Dishie’ yarn from Knitpicks during a sale not too long ago, and now I’m making washcloths for the family with it. I can get around 3 washcloths per skein, giving me around 9 and some change to knit. I just started the third one, the first two are not perfect but that’s the joy of creating something hand knit. I’m using a pattern called ‘Pips’ which is also from knitpicks. It’s a simple two line repeat that leaves a fairly detailed and scrubby texture – perfect for cotton cloths.
I bought myself some linen to cross stitch with for a future project, having never used it before. I know some people don’t like the unevenness of the material, but I think the rustic look is nice, and I think I have the perfect pattern for it (an Alice in Wonderland inspired gradient pattern). Along with it, I bought some floss that I needed for future projects. I can’t wait to get started!
Progress is coming along! It’s nice and relaxing, and I just ordered a few frames so it’s more motivation to get these projects completed, yay!
A few more rows, and then we’re onto the heels. These socks have been taking me forever to knit, but I haven’t been working on them that often, so I’m OK with the slow progress.
