Last of the Gift Dishcloths

This set is for Veronique, my "Pretty-in-Pink" friend. When I saw the gloves, I thought of her immediately!

Rub a Dub Dub. . . More cloths and soaps given as Christmas gifts

Regular old Peaches n Creme cotton dishcloth yarn paired with novelty soaps. Oh, it's such a clean Christmas this year! Following three cloths are crocheted. Man, I can crochet a cloth in less than 1/2 the time it takes to knit one.

Cozy Socks

Pattern: Cozy Socks for Kids
Designer: Sue Dial
Source: 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders (ed. J. Durant)
Yarn: Stash yarn
Recipient: Niece S, age 4

Mods: Used stash yarn instead of the Harvest Moon Angoras Handspun Bulky Singles as designed. Also, instead of the pattern cuff, which alternates 4 rounds of purl with 4 rounds of knit four times, I did 10 rows of garter stitch. Then, when done, I decided they needed a little bit of festiveness about them, so I added the fluffy yarn cuff by single crocheting about 9 rows, and then folding over and tacking down. Voila, little Santa's helper socks!

Christmas is coming. . .

Gifts for Nieces A (8 years) and S (4 years): A knitted wash cloth and cute soap for each!

Log Cabin

The Log Cabin lap blanket (pattern from wh-oelse -- the Mason Dixon chicks!) for my cousin Cindy is growing, but very slowly now as the stripes get bigger. The yarn is nice -- Mission Falls cotton -- very squishy and comfy.

Garden Shoes for Baby

Both booties really are the same size, I promise!


















Pattern: Garden Shoes designed by Stella Smith in Simply Knitting Magazine, Oct. 2006, Issue 7.
Yarn: Louisa Harding Kimono Angora (1 ball) in the brown/cream/orange/gray pathway.
For: Niece R. (given at baby shower)
Made Dec. 2006
****************

The blue pair here are made from Berroco suede yarn.
These booties are both the same size, too -- I should be more
careful how I take my pictures! These were made for a friend of my daughter who had a baby last year.
