It had been a busy week and I hadn't had a chance to prep anything for my evenings in my comfy chair so I've been knitting some more dishclothes. I had made some last year from cotton yarn that had been sitting around for a while. I wanted to keep knitting until I used it all up.
They don't look too bad......in this photo —
Nor in this photo —
But in this photo you see that I have created probably the ugliest dishcloth ever created 😔
Haha as I ran out of one cotton I added another and just kept on knitting until the end.
Definitely not one for the gift box, however I am sure my kitchen bench is not going to mind being wiped down by an ugly cloth!
On the positive side, this is all I have left from four skeins of the cotton yarn.
On Saturday I made sure I did some preparation so that I had something to do in the evening!
I'm back to working on the Sip Tea and EPP mystery project that was run on Instagram in January. No longer a mystery, it's a lovely little sewing folder.
This was how far I'd got —
(This was a free sewalong designed by @stitchingnotes and @nordiccrafter (on Instagram). They now have a detailed pattern available which I ended up purchasing to save back and forthing between all the posts. It's available *here* or *here*.)
Thank you Wendy for hosting us this weekend ♥
I have a bit of time left this afternoon before the evening rolls in so I hope to cut some Bear and Popstar blocks for the week's sewing.
We have had a heavy rain warning for today/tonight but so far no rain has come although there has been a lot of wind. We really need a decent rain so we are hoping something will happen.
I've been starting my dinner prep a bit early so that I can cook up a pot of apples while the meal cooks. A bottle of stewed fruit a night keeps up with the windfalls and makes it less of a task for me.

So with all that in mind,
'til next time,
happy stitches,
love the little sewing project.......
ReplyDeleteI knitted a dishcloth yesterday too.
ReplyDeleteWell I rather like the way the dishcloth fades from one colour to the next. Such a pretty sewing pouch, a nice sewalong. xx
ReplyDeleteYour epp project is looking really sweet. Both of those IGers have such beautiful feeds.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your dishes will not mind what colour the cloth is. They look fine to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see other projects getting a turn, too.
Hope the warning is downgraded for you!!! Take care.
Great to have used up the yarn for your dishcloth…
ReplyDeleteCute sewing pouch.
I wish I had a pot full of apples to cook, my apple tree failed me that I planted about 5 years ago and is now cut down. Now I have to buy apples to make chunky applesauce or pies.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure an ugly dishcloth works as well as a non ugly one!

Raewyn - I have read about on-line sewing groups, and thought about them off and on. Thanks for the mention of Friday Night Sew-in. I will have to check it out! I love the sewing bag, and those dishcloths are prettier than the yucky sponges we keep around here WAY TOO LONG!
