I do love my mom and she is the one person I have never made anything for so I corrected that with this Mother’s Day/birthday “happy”. I found this great Mother’s Day cloth and just had to make it. I gave it to her last week as part of her birthday gift and she absolutely loved it. The only problem is that she now has it in a drawer and refuses to use it. What is up with people thinking that $0.75 worth of cotton yarn can’t be used because it has a cute pattern on it. Now I guess I will have to make her some more so she will use the dang things.
I was not at all pleased with the pictures I took. First of all, these are all pre-blocking so that is never good. Secondly, I hate the lighting in most of the rooms in my house. In some of the pics, you can’t see the design very well but you can see the color. In the one where the design is best viewed, the color looks completely different. but hey, all that is really important here is that I actually sat down to make something and it was finished in a reasonable amount of time.
So there you have it. Kris has several great patterns that I have in my queue for the near future. I made this cloth on a 5 and it was still a bit big for what I wanted so I have cast the next one on using size 3. Hopefully, I will get a smaller cloth with a more defined picture. I am sure however that due to my less than stellar knitting skills, it won’t look nearly as good as it could. Coming tomorrow- June’s project list and current progress.
