I've decided that this year I am going to be ahead of the game as far as christmas goes, ok well I'm trying to stay ahead of the game. My obsession with knitting dishclothes may have faded for a couple months, but lo and behold it has returned. A knitting friend of mine gave me a book that has patterns in it, a simple knit, pearl patterns that give you a nice design in the middle. I thought I would post the pictures, and it looks like I got a little carried away with loading two of the same dishclothes..oops still trying to figure this whole blogging thing out.......anywho. The top dishcloth (birdhouse, with a bird flying in) I used a 7 gauge to knit it with. Apparently I knit a little loose, the pattern was showing up, but not as well as I would have liked so I switched over and started using 5's instead.....
this pattern is Michigan Cherry's, yes I know I used black so it is hard to see.......
the pictures didn't turn out as nice as I was hoping they would...this pattern is Topiary with Heart
hmmm figured you needed to see this one again :)
This is a rose, it was my first one I made with the 5's
I finally broke down and bought a pair of knitting needles that connect (guess you call those circular knitting needles :) ) eventually I will be the Queen of knitting, just give me another 10 years :) Now I just need someone to show me how to use these babies :) as you see they are still in the package, haven't opened them yet. Will probably take them with me to work and see if one of the girls can show me what to do with them.............

You've entered the world of circs. You can knit straight or back and forth with them. I do that with a lot of my circs (I have an interchangable set) or you can knit in the round. It depends on what you are making and what length your circs are. It truly is a world that you have entered. I hope you can find a buddy to help you out.
