Musings and meanderings of a gal who already has too much stuff on her plate - but will move the lima beans over to make room for a blog! Posts won't be on a regular basis at first - but hopefully one day I'll catch up to myself!

Bathtime Blossoms
Ooooooh! I’m in love with these Evelyn Clark “Bathtime Blossoms” patterns. I’m not sure that I would want anyone to wash their hiney with them, as they are a little more work and a LOT more concentration than lots of OTHER patterns that could be used for such purposes, but who am I to judge if someone wants to pamper their hiney!?! I used Paton’s Bumblebee Baby Sport yarn and size 3 needles, and they are just SO pretty! There is a third one in the set, and also 3 soap sacks, but I haven’t gotten around to those just yet!
My new trick for knitting cloths with baby sport cotton on size 3 needles is to pull out the ole double points, put some point protectors on the ends (ummmmm, only put a point protector on ONE end of each needle :oP)…and knit away to your hearts’ content with nice short needles…a LOT less strain!!!! Now, of course this won’t work if you have a LOT of stitches – but these cloths are worked in short rows and have only 25-30 stitches or so at any one given time on the needles :o)
