I know I've been afk for a good several weeks; I developed a thrush infection that has made nursing a nightmare, and when the thing you're doing every two or three hours around the clock is excruciatingly painful, it kind of takes over your life. I seem to have it mostly licked now, though, so I'm getting back to some kind of normal.
I counted, and I'm actually on schedule dishcloth-wise, thanks to the extras that I made for swaps and holidays and whatnot, despite my month-long hiatus. I'm hoping to crank out a couple more this week ('cause I'm nothing if not full of delusions of productivity).
Week 18-21 (Knit Picks Week 19)
Fishbones, by Marjorie Dussaud
Lily Sugar'n Cream, Daisy Ombre
I love this happy yellow and white colorway. The dishcloth pattern is easy to memorize and mindless without being too boring. It made for great knitting in the car. I don't know how practical the floats will be with use and washing, but I'll let you know.
Week 22
Gingham Dishcloth
Peaches & Creme, Forest Green, Rosemary, Ecru
More tapestry crochet, oy vey, the single crochet . . . I do like how the gingham is translated. I fell in love with gingham in my tweens, because instead of the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, my idols were Laura Ingalls Wilder and Anne of Green Gables. I lived a sheltered life, what can I say?
