This has been one awful and crazy month for me. We’ve had round after round of illness over here at my house. Between bronchitis and pneumonia, the kids and I kept getting knocked down. My two year old got pneumonia so bad around Thanksgiving he was in the hospital for almost a week. But we …
Challenge
The Weekly Winner…
I’ve drawn out the name of our lucky winner for week three! I could draw out the suspense by writing about some new cloth that I’m working on, except that I’ve barely been knitting for the last couple of days. I’ve been working on the same cloth for this whole time. I really just needed …
I give up…
I’m sorry to announce this, but I’m giving up the challenge. I really enjoyed this challenge and it got me knitting and designing and thinking about dishcloths every day. But on the other hand, I’ve been knitting and designing and thinking about dishcloths every day for not only the last three weeks, but also the …
This could be it…
Challenge Day…. on hold Well, this could be it. I don’t have a cloth ready. It’s 8:30 at night and I don’t have one knitted, or even half knitted. It is cast on with two rows done though. I really don’t want to stop the challenge!! But I don’t think I can keep up. I really …
Three weeks done!
Challenge Day 21 Thanks to everyone for the kind words about my headaches. I’ve had migraines since childhood, I believe, but they weren’t diagnosed until I was in college. I take a couple of medications for a couple of things with my head and recently I suggested to my doctor that maybe I could try …
Squeezing this in before midnight
Challenge Day 20 I won’t go into a whole lot of details why, but I’ve been having a lot of troubles over the last several days with my headaches and so that has really put a crimp in my knitting plans. I managed to finish the cloth today near dinnertime and was waiting impatiently all …
Closing in on the end of the third week
Challenge Day 19 Wow! I really can’t believe that I’ve been at this for 19 days. I know that some of you are probably wondering how long I intend to keep this up. I had always hoped to keep it going for 4 weeks. I figured that would be a respectable length of time. If …
Posting before noon!
Challenge Day 18 If I type fast, I just might squeeze this post in before noon, which will be a major accomplishment given that I’ve been posting near 11:00 pm the last several nights. Here’s a picture of the pattern I just added to the website: It’s a Christmas Stocking and the cloth that I …
Catching up….
Challenge Day 17 I’ve been knitting whenever I can and I managed to get about a cloth and a half knit today. So I have a new one to add for today, one all set for tomorrow and I’m halfway finished knitting another cloth. I’ve got a little breathing room for a couple of days …
