Hi and it's been a while, I am just getting around to posting on my blog, it has been a rough few months personally and what I need to get back to is working on the calendar for 2009, which I love working on.
As I do some designs that I am not going to use for the calendar, I will pass along. A few months back I promised a lace cloth to someone and can't remember who it was but anyway I am posting it here for those interested in trying something different. This particular pattern I was trying different types of lace stitches with as an experiment with using one as a border pattern and the other in the body of the cloth. They were separated with stockenette rows. The lace pattern for the border, although it is hard to see resembles little baskets. So you can use part or all or whatever if you wish.

That's a pretty dishcloth!
What a gorgeous dishcloth. Just one question - do you ever have "me" time or is knitting your indulgence? Your dedication is admirable.
regards
Liz.
I have been mostly lurking for a couple of months on the monthly dishcloth group; I am enjoying the KALs. I was browsing the peaches & creme website, clicked the knitting calendar link and found Janets Knitting Room.
You and I have some parallels in our lives over the past year; I lost my husband and best friend of 34 years on April 30, 2007, three weeks after a cancer diagnosis. I believe I have been in shock since he first got sick, and although my wonderful 9-year-old daughter is the light of my life, I feel like rediscovering knitting has restored some sanity and peace to the very grey days. Thank you for all you do for the Yahoo group, and for some lovely patterns.
