So, it's just another washcloth, but I love this pattern - it's the 'diamond brocade' from 365 Knitting Stitches a Year Perpetual
Calendar that my DSis gave me for Christmas...And look, no more twisted stitches!! I may have mentioned this before, but the metal needles really worked out a lot better for me than the wooden ones...
And this is what else I spent most of the day doing (in between responding to pitiful cries of "Mommy, we're hungry!!", "Mommy, I don't want to watch this cartoon, will you change the channel?", "Mommy, he's being mean to me...." and also talking to my sister, my husband, and my BIL, and doing dishes and... never mind, you get the picture...)I don't buy 'good yarn' often enough to justify getting a swift and ball winder, but I really wished I had one today. There's about 1000 yards of this stuff. I will not be doing this again... well, maybe I will, but not for just anyone ;) This yarn is going to be something for my friend... I've known her for about 15yrs, so she's worth the effort :)
I haven't figured out what I'm making yet, probably a cardigan of some sort or another. Something very simple, for sure, to show off the yarn - this stuff is luscious. 100% cotton, just heavier than laceweight, really, and it has a really tiny slubby boucle to it. It's called 'Twirly', which is pretty appropriate. Whatever I end up making, I had better not screw it up, because this stuff will be a major PITA to rip out.
