recent knits

My camera battery was dead today so I decided it would be cuter to draw the things I have knitted recently, instead of just a plain old photograph.
As we can see from the diagram, I have been busy knitting.  Up on the top left, we see a representation of the pair of legwarmers I finished last week.  They are pink and brown stripes, but the stripes are different on each leg to make it  interesting easy.  At the top right, we see a big blue hat, knit from super bulky and warm yarn I found at the craft swap last year.  I had already knit one hat from this but unknit it when I realised it needed a folded ribbed brim to add an extra layer of warmth around the ears, and to make it even more enourmous looking- oh well.
At the bottom left is found the lowly dishcloth which I think are nice.  My mother in law likes to knit these by the truckload and I always wanted to try them too.  These will be for xmas gifts, with a nice piece of soap included.
Et voila, there you have my recent industry.  Not shown (becasue it is not knitted) is one tote bag made in a frenzy one morning with thrifted demin and this park fabric.I will try and get a good picture of that, but it currently has my pile of T-shirt knitting in it.  I have been cutting my old tees into strips to knit into bathmats... intriguing.  Never a dull moment around here.  Stay tuned for more riveting updates.

This dishcloth is just about the only reason I would want to learn to knit! I think the knit dishcloths look so much nicer than the crochet dishcloths!
