Simple read & a "simple" knit.
The washcloth is from the very beautiful book The Knitter's Year by Debbie Bliss. Hilariously (but probably only to me), the book says "this textured washcloth takes less than an hour to make" and yes, I am only working on it during brief pockets of time but still, this would be my 3rd(?) day!
The yarn is Debbie Bliss Eco Baby in gray.
The magazine? Well... not exactly a read, more an inspirational viewing as my french language skills are sadly, worse than poor. If you have never looked at this mag, find it. It's something special.
Sounds like a great book Janie and don't worry about the time frame, just enjoy the process.
ReplyDeleteFrench? Mine is really bad!
So true Tracey!
DeleteIt's just funny (or maybe sad) how poor my french is considering I've been learning it in school for YEARS!
yAY! As soon as I saw the needles I thought "oh she's knitting...hehehe" Good job woman. Its a pretty elaborate dishcloth so give yourself some credit!
ReplyDeleteI am indeed! I always start knitting and then do the big cop out and crochet instead. Time to start trying!! :) And thanks.
DeleteMarie Claire Idees is my all time favorite magazine. I wish they would translate it and sell it overseas. Totally worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteThey should SO translate it!! That would be awesome. For now, I'm pretty content looking at the beautiful pictures. Even with a great english mag, I often just stare at the photos instead of reading!
DeleteTa about the Banner- and I have the knitters year- the peg holder is on my to do list, but I have never used her yarn... it must be super nice. Enjoy and take all the time you want, the dishes will understand... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, love the peg holder too. Need a clothesline first! Need yard space for a clothesline even more first!! The yarn is really lovely (sadly my local yarn shop closed, and happily they had a BIG sale!).
DeleteWashcloths always take me DAYS to knit. Sometimes week. You'll get there!
ReplyDeleteGood to know Erin, thanks! I will very likely be in the "weeks" timeframe :)
