Simple Knitted Wash Cloth

Okay, I know I said I was going to post more often, and I'm sorry for not doing so.  I've just been a mix of tired, wired, unmotivated with inspiration, and motivated with out inspiration.

At least I've started posting again.

And with all this, I bring you my first knitting pattern!  It's not anything to write home about in the looks department, but one of these with a good dish liquid will get your dishes looking lovely.

Please keep in mind that I've never written a knitting pattern before, so if I screw up, please let me know!


Simple Knitted Dish Cloth Pattern

What you'll need:

• Cotton WW yarn
• Size 10 knitting needles
• J hook(optional for casting off, as it's much easier for me to use one)
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Cast on 30, knit until you have 24 ridges of garter stitch, cast off, ch 15, reattach to wash cloth(The J hook really helps with the chaining bit for me), F/O, weave in ends.

Did ya miss me?

Hey!  Sorry I've gone so long without posting!  Life's been crazy, blah, blah, yeah.  Anyway, I'm going to try and post weekly, even if it's just "look what I made this week!" kind of stuff.

The start to this will be today, and it's gonna be some catching up.

First off, I taught myself how to knit!  And I made this!  Yes, the Tom Baker 4th Doctor scarf!  It has it's flaws, but I did it!  Yay!

Next up, things I made for Christmas gifts!  Hats for the nephews!  They loved them, by the way.

I also made a scarf for my brother's girlfriend.  With the way things are going between them, I think I'll be

getting a sister-in-law here soon!

Next, random things I've made!

Wolverine Fingerless mitts!  Yes, the butter knives are needed for the photo.

Captain America mitts.  My mom called them Texas Flag mitts.

Black Widow mitts!  I think these came out the best of the bunch.

Hat I made for my hubby.  Skunk "skin" hat.  If you understand why, you get an internet cookie.

This was meant for a smaller lady dog, but it ended up too big.  So Yoshi got a sweater!

Meet Pearl!

I think that's enough for now.  See ya next week!

Sunny Mobile

I made this back in January for a friend of my husband.  Used a pattern from Crochet Today!

Avengers, Assemble! Part 1

So I've been on a huge Avengers kick here over the last two months.  This was bound to happen.

These are the Hulk themed wrist warmers.

I even put little little knuckles on them.

I'm done!(EDIT)

Aside from the removable LEDs I still need to get for them, The Iron Man wrist warmers are done!  I was going to put LEDs in the palm repulsers so they would light up, but the only ones I could find were too tall.  If I had tried putting them in there, the repulser wouldn't be as flat as they need to be.

Spiderman pose to show that the repulser is a pocket!

I Am Iron Man(WIP, anyway)

Not a project I can share the pattern for(using one of Twinkie Chan's as the base is why), but I thought I'd share a few pics of what I'm working on at the moment all the same.

Side 1 WIP

It's a double set of Iron Man Wrist Warmers!  Inspired by a friend wanting them, a love of Marvel comics, and a picture of a pair already made, I set about making these.  I was only going to make one pair, but as I was making the first wrist cuff, I said "damn it, I want these too!"  So, I'm making two pairs.

side 2 WIP

Wish me luck on this somewhat crazy project!

Drawstring
With CC2 and G hook, ch 121.  Slst in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (120).  Weave in ends.  Weave your drawstring through the dc rnd of the bag so you can pull it shut.  Tie a knowt in each end of drawstring, or a big fat bead if you want, to each end to keep the drawstring from coming out of the bag.

Had to make one for my Momma, too.

The finished bag is big enough to fit a standard deck of playing cards and lots of dice in all shapes.  You can easily make a slightly bigger bag by using a H hook in place of the G hook.
