ell, I made a purse this week to donate as a raffle prize and forgot to take a picture of it. Instead, here’s the first knitted project I completed: a dishcloth from cotton yarn! I gave it to my friend Judy. It only took 2 false starts before I didn’t drop so many stitches it wasn’t recoverable and didn’t look like a hot mess. Yikes. Learning new things is hard!
- Used this Week: 2 yards
- 2 yd for Arabesque bag and small zippy pouch
- Used year to Date: 240.75 yards
- Added this Week: 0 yards
- Woohoo!
- Net Used for 2014: 162 yards
- YTD Used for Charity: 91.5 yards (38% of total used)

Edited to add: Random bowling picture of me and the kids. We were asked to “meow” for the photo since it was a fundraiser for Good Mews. My daughter was not sure about those instructions.
Good job on increasing and decreasing the stitches! Did you also learn how to pearl?
wow for a first project, you did a fantastic job. the bowling picture is adorable
Congratulations on the knitting success! It is all about the muscle memory, so keep on knitting!
Great photo! I took knitting lessons last year and started with a baby blanket as it was knit a row pearl a row and I could use it as a donation quilt. I took it apart only once when somehow it suddenly had more stitches than I added :-). I have made 2 more since then and just started a Harry Potter scarf for the granddaughter which is a challenge because I am knitting in the round.
I am a knitting muggle. Consequently, you are brilliant. Meow!
Knitting is a addicting as quilting and much easier done in a car or while watching TV.
