This is a collection of my previous dishcloth patterns. I’m thrilled to be able to offer them in a set and at a discount from the individual prices!
Buy at Etsy or on Ravelry or here on the site (patterns are served through Ravelry, but you don’t have to be a member to buy!).
Warm enough, in fact, that I’ve gotten pretty much no knitting done for the last few days. With a heat index peaking at 109 yesterday and no a/c, I wound up spending the afternoon at the beach:
Anyway, right now I’m trying to finish a project-bigger-than-a-dishcloth and having issues doing it. There’s a bit of a deadline and I’m feeling like an idiot, because I started it months ago, then allowed myself to be seduced by the whole I have plenty of time! thing, even though I knew full well that summer was coming and I wouldn’t want it in my lap. Will I ever learn?

But I just might have to try it. Reading this makes me feel braver. Maybe even brave enough.

I’m so excited that this is finally finished!

Hope you like it!
Just saw this on Rav…where else? LOL.

Oh hell yes!
Anybody want to listen to me whine about my job again? Yeah, me neither. So we won’t go there beyond this: damn you, J&J and your Tylenol issues. I still have customers who want to buy your product. At this point, I’m not sure why, given that there hasn’t been a consistent supply in over a year. People are weird. And angry.
Ahem.
It has only taken me two weeks longer than I thought to get some photos that I *think* will work for the pattern I may manage to release someday. I’ve managed to knit dishcloths in 2 varieties of the new Peaches & Creme, but I want to do one in a solid before pronouncing judgement. Initial impression? Not as sad-making as I thought it might be and not as happy-making as the old version.
Other than that, still at a standstill. *sigh*

Of course, in my case it’s more likely to be crochet, but it all comes with the same set of issues:
I am not an overly social person, and nothing that I do while out and about seems to draw as much comment as pulling out a project and yarning away.
This drives me absolutely nutty.
When I’m in a waiting room, all I usually want is to blend into the woodwork. I’m stressed out by small talk; I’m even more stressed by it when I’m stressed already. I generally don’t make a public appearance unless I have to. I’m a homebody. I work in retail and I already talk to people all day. It absolutely exhausts me. The last thing I want is to chat with random strangers at a time I could be enjoying the quiet. Having my rhythm broken is far more annoying than never having the rhythm in the first place.
I don’t knit at work anymore, either. Same issues, but magnified, as I feel compelled to not be standoffish with those I have to see most days.
I don’t know if I really have a point, other than finding it soothing to grumble about having to either talk to folks or leave the crochet home. But I suppose grumbling is part of what a blog is for. 🙂 Though I’m sure there’s an interesting thought in there somewhere about the difference between random people in public and random people on the internet. In public once removed, or something.
