Snowed in another day!
Is it possible to knit some sunshine? I am giving it my best shot.
Looking for my next knitting project but even if I find it, it will have to wait. No trips to town today, to pick up the needed yarn.
But, I have been knitting dishcloths. I have a cotton yarn stash and I have been picking out the brightest colors I can find. Hoping those bright colors will bring some warmth and some thoughts of Spring.
This is one of the first Knitting projects I learned. They are pretty simple.

Oh I love the bright colours and the patterns if you figure out how to knit sunshine let me know:) It is very sunny here but because of last nights dump of snow and the high winds I cannot see out the back window. Doing the chores was frightful and I am glad I knitted a hat:) Keep knitting if you lived closer I have lots:) Hug b
ReplyDeleteIt's stinkin' cold here. I'm finished up a crocheted (Bavarian) baby blanket. When I finish that, it's diving into my closet for those pesky unfinished projects....ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Buttons -- I have lots of yarn here you could have... :)
ReplyDeleteKnitting sunshine is such a happy sounding phrase. Maybe you could knit a little over here! :-) It rained cats and dogs today.
ReplyDeleteI love that peachy-orange color - very sunny!

I need to knit some more dish cloths, too. Ours are getting rather worn. I keep a stock of yarn on hand just for that purpose, but I don't think I have any sunshine yarn. I keep a stock of all kinds of yarn I find on sale. Can't have too much yarn!

I like that bright color! Sounds like a good project for when you are snowed in. I have a lot of dishcloths that my grandma knitted for me :)

ReplyDeleteOrange is always a cheerful color. These will be fun to use.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to learn to make these! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love these kitchen dish cloths! I have my mom make me a bunch over the winter. Hope the snow ends and you can make it to town soon. C'mom spring!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any tips or tricks for keeping them bright? My crocheted ones seem to fade. I love knit work, but I just can't seem to get the knack.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any more crafty stuff you want to share, I run a Blog Hop on Fridays. You can enter today's hop up until next Thursday at noon.
Jessica, I do not! Mine have faded too. I just knit more :) They work great.
DeleteThanks for the invitation. I will stop by!
I use this same pattern for dish cloths. It is simple and my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI have never learned to knit but I always admire those who do. My daughter wants to learn how to knit and talks about it all the time so I am going to send her your tutorial and pattern. What a great first project. These are beautiful colors and I need some color in my world right now too - it is 9 degrees out and surrounded by snow. Thanks for sharing on the Four Seasons Blog Hop as always we love your posts~
ReplyDeleteI think it IS possible to invite the sunshine into our life by what you busy yourself with! Great cheerful dishcloths!!~
