In the Meadow Dishcloth

Pattern: In the Meadow (Monthly Dishcloth KAL)
Needle Size: 7
Yarn: Sugar'n Cream - White & Purple

I am still working on the Firestarters Socks and almost finished with the heel flap. Noro sock yarn isn't the easiest to work with...broke the yarn twice but I finally see an end in sight. I really want to get these socks done before I start any other projects because I'm afraid I won't finish them for Aprils SAM5. Of course, I still work on different dishcloths too. Do you find yourself just looking for the end? Generally I really enjoy the process of knitting an item and I am to an extend with these socks but not like with others. These socks will be colorful...I do like this part.

I am contemplating either making EZ's Baby Surprise Jacket or Pinwheel Sweater. There are several adorable Pinwheel Sweaters on Ravelry. I'd probably make this for my 1 year old niece or make the Baby Surprise Jacket for my neighbor's grandson who is only a few months old.

I've also joined Stitch-It's Oddball Charity Blanket. I will be the last one to knit on the Midwest "Good Day Sunshine" Blanket so I get to knit then crochet a border if it needs it. I have a stitch pattern in mind but will wait until I see how it will look on the blanket.

There just never seems to be enough time in the day to knit. With the weather getting nicer, I enjoy taking my puppy Daisy for walks plus the kids seem to require more of my time too.

Cute dishrag!! I know what you mean, I'm kinda feeling that way right now...I have so much stuff on the needles and my April socks haven't even been started yet! Usually I knit outside but this past week it's just been enjoying the outdoors lol...I would love to have the civil war shawl done by summer...cause I know it will be fall before I work on it again...*sigh*...can't wait to see the socks!! : )

Another blog about knitting......and crocheting too!
