FO (Finished Object for My Non Knitting Friends)

/ LDSVenus

I finished the In Thirds dishcloth, free pattern on Ravelry. I really like the I love this Cotton by Hobby Lobby. It’s very soft and I like how the colors were laid out. Tho, like most cotton yarns, I imagine with repeated washings the colors will fade a lot over time. It says to use a size 8 needle but I like the fabric to be a little tighter knit for the dishcloths. Normally, because I knit a little loser, I would have just gone down one needle size but since I wanted it a little tighter than normal I went down 3 sizes to a needle size 5 and I like the fabric it makes better. I have enough for another one and maybe a 3rd one if I don’t mind playing a little yarn chicken :). I’m getting ready to cast on the 2nd one.

After the 18th I’ll share about something I don’t normally do but decided to bite the bullet and spend a little more money than I would normally allow my self to do on some knitting things. It’s kinda like people do for the Christmas yarn advent calendars. I’ll go into a little more detail when I talk about it after the 18th :). I got my first box and I’m so excited to share what was sent!

The weatherman says we have a storm, coming in the wee hours of tomorrow morning through tomorrow evening, that could produce “gorilla” hail, yeah the big stuff, but I think that will more than likely be in the state below us, tho I’m sure we will have some wind and rain. Take care everyone!

  2. It’s awesome that the fabric of your dish cloth turned out the way you like! Looking forward to hearing all about your splurge. (I wonder why you chose the 18th though.)

    Take care and stay safe during the storm!

  3. I love that dishcloth! The colors are really pretty. I also love that yarn although to me it doesn’t feel like cotton because it doesn’t make my fingers ache like traditional cotton (peaches and cream??) 

    I’m looking forward to your share about your splurge!!!

    I hope you survived, and maybe even got a pass, on the Gorilla Hail!!!

    • Yeah we got lucky and the storm went more south of us, got wind and rain but no hail! Tomorrow I will be listing the things in the box I got, they are so cool. And there will be two more boxes to come, one in the summer and one in the fall. So excited, especially after seeing this one! And. yeah the Hobby Lobby I love this cotton yarn is soft.
