W.I.P Wednesday

 I have been kept busy with what feels like about a thousand (lovely) projects this week.

I'm still busy knitting my socks and scarf, and crocheting my blanket. But this week a bit more urgent knitting had to be dealt with - wash cloths...


I only use knit washcloths in my home. I love how thick and absorbent they are. With my current washcloths looking rather worse for wear, I commissioned my mother-in-law to knit up a couple (she has done a FABULOUS job) and I knitted up a couple, so I now have a draw full of cloths that should last me the next year at least.

Allot of stitching is happening around here too. Some finishes...




I really need to make up these little stitchery's sometime soon! I plan to make a little autumn pillow our of the top, properly mount the kitty stitchery - and I'm still undecided about using it as a Christmas card or popping it into a frame to display around Christmas time and the last little stitchery will more than likely grace the front of a Christmas card.

Still busy with...


...this little autumn stitchery. Once this one is done I'll haul out my sewing machine and fabric stash to make this one (and the other one) into cute little decorative cushions to display. My aim is to have them all sewn up by the 23rd - to mark the Autumn Equinox :)

Have a lovely creative Wednesday dear readers...

  6. What pattern do you use for those wash cloths? Those are the first ones I have seen that truly look thick enough for my taste. I love all the stitching you have done. I can't wait to see the finishes.

    1. Hi Cathie - I'm also quite particular about my cloths, they HAVE to be thick and big enough to slightly more than fill my hand. I use Homespun Livings Waffle Weave Dishcloth pattern. I love it so much that it's the only one I use - although I see she has another one out that I may try too. :)
