Dishcloth Swap

January's Dishcloth swap is under way, the first swap of the year on the Crafty Threads n Yarn forum. Here's the dishcloth that I received from my secret spoiler....


.... together with a generous bar of coconut soap - yum!


I'm having great fun knitting up dishcloths and have just finished my 4th one this month. Aren't they addictive!!! I can't reveal my ones just yet as I don't want to spoil the surprise for my dishcloth swap pal. But all will be revealed soon though!

As per usual, Little Miss CB has jumped on the bandwagon and is churning out her own dishcloth as we speak. Bored with knitting scarves and swatches, she needed something more challenging to work on. And as expected, she's taken to knitting on dpns like she takes to everything else. Is there nothing this child can't do?

She was off sick earlier this week for a couple of days again, this time with an upset tummy. We're not sure what's causing it but it might be a food allergy (namely chocolate :( which she is not terribly happy about). But it seems to be settling down again. Anyway, this is what she did on one of her days off...


Enjoy the photos and I'll reveal my spoiler just as soon as I find out who it is!! ;)

Katie Knits - Pink Scarf

This time last year Katie was under the misguided impression that knitting was for grannies, much to my frustration. However, this summer she proved herself to be quite a good little knitter!
She received a scarf kit for her birthday from one of her friends - one of those kits with big fat needles 20mm+ and chunky wool. While we were away for a week in August, she brought the kit with her and made the scarf in a few hours one day. And being the kind natured kid that she is, she gave it to her cousin for her 18th birthday that week. Check out the smiles.
