I knit for 6 whole months...

and all I made was this stupid washcloth.

I have reached a low point, knitting-wise. I am seriously trying to use up my stash, but I hate every little scrap of it (and most of it is scraps so I can't think of decent projects with what I own).

I have some Sugar and Cream cotton and thought I'd knit up some washcloths. They're always useful and they knit up fast. I've made one and a half in this hideous bright green (It's not that I just knit half a washcloth, I am working on the second one). What was I on when I bought this stuff? Gah.


I also appear to have lost ability to knit since this washcloth should only have four seams --that fifth one is my handy invisible seam! I can't see it at all! I used the 4-corner dishcloth pattern I found on ravelry. It used about 3/4 of a hank?skein?roll? I don't even know what to call yarn balls anymore....sigh.

Weekend Update

I had high hopes of sitting down and reading the last Harry Potter book this weekend, but then decided that I enjoy savoring books. That decision gave me a lot of time to reorganize my yarn stash--sadly, since my moratorium on yarn buying was lifted I really haven't bought anything, and yet my yarn stash hasn't gone anywhere either. I posted earlier about making some washcloths and here's one I made this weekend (using up one skein of Sugar'nCream):
I will probably be making more--they're fun and fast and I really need more washcloths. The pattern is the Stepped Ridge pattern from Dishcloth Botique.

I also (almost) finished this guy:
He still needs eyes and a scarf but I didn't have any matching Red Heart Soft yarn in a color I liked. I got this pattern from Lucinda Guy's book And So To Bed... I thought the pattern was rather confusing and totally wrong in some parts, but with a little thought, I figured out what it meant. This was a lesson in seams. I've never stitched purl seams before. It was good practice. On the bright side, because I made that mushroom sweater, the insartia part was really easy. And I did not make this owl because of Harry Potter...it was just a cute toy!
