I finally have started on the crocheted Babydoll Dress that I started… oh, way back in July of last year. (And by started I mean, only testing my gauge on the swatches.) I’m really enjoying the way it’s working up. I loved the ribbed feel of the bodice and I’m really looking forward to having an actual garment. As it is my first attempt at a piece of clothing, I’m not sure exactly how it’s going to turn out, but hopefully it will be cute and wearable.
Really enjoying this show about knit dishcloths. Dishcloths are probably my favorite thing to knit and I like how they did a test of different kinds of cotton yarn.
Speaking of cotton yarn… look at this stash of Peaches ‘n Creme yarn I got on vacation!
Yeah… that was totally using self control too… I could’ve bought one in every shade they had!
I’ve said before that if I wasn’t careful I’d cozy my whole house. Cozies, like my cup cozies, are cute, functional, and just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And, well, yes, I do realize they might be a little dorky. But that makes me love them all the more.
I recently added a new cozy to my collection:
The apple cozy.
I found the free pattern for this cute apple cozy on Ravelry. It worked up very quickly (within an hour or so with some scrap yarn I had leftover from washcloths) and I love how it turned out. A great way to keep my fruit a little protected when I throw it into my bag to go to work. Also, it never hurts to make things a little cuter. Maybe the cuteness will increase the amount of fruit in my diet!
