wow!

i made up another dishcloth/facecloth last night. i used it and i LOVE IT! the bumpy garter stitch ridges feel sooo good against my face and the cotton is nice and soft.

i am using that same pattern to work up some afghan squares for that swap i need to finish. i got tired of regular old granny squares and the other patterns i was crocheting. this pattern seems pretty easy and mindless so i'm going with it. i should be nearly finished making squares for that swap..it's just a matter of checking my list to see who i've sent to and whose packages are ready to go!

casting on again

okay so aside from doing afghan squares for the square swap i'm in, i haven't done much other knitting or crocheting. BUT, i'm getting started on christmas gifts already!! for one thing, i need to put a dent in my stash so i have a good reason to buy new yarn. and secondly, it never hurts to get an early start on christmas stuff. right?

i'm making dishcloths to give as gifts. easy for me, practical (and pretty!) for whoever receives them.
