Back to the Lime Green Cotton Sweater

On Tuesday night finished the baby afghan for the UMW circle and returned to working on the lime green cotton sweater. Did not take pictures of either the wedding present or the afghan. The afghan was simple stockinette stitch knitting in baby blue and pale lavender stripes. I have some patterns for more elaborate ones that I may do later but want to get all of these cotton sweaters done up that I have yarn for. So it is good to be back on track with the sweaters.

New Project begun

I am now working on a knitted baby blanket to be donated to one of the United Methodist Women's circle at my church. They collect baby items to donate to some local non-profit organizations that have this need. It is stripped pale blue and lavender which was left over some some of my sweater projects.

Finished another project

Well completed the wedding present. A small crocheted rug in navy blue, two navy blue potholders, and a navy and white kitchen towel. Didn't do a dishcloth because many people today do not use them because of possible germs. Although the germ issue can be handled by regularly putting the cloth in the dishwasher, washer is only good if your water gets really hot. My husband does our laundry and everything gets washed in lukewarm water. Therefore, I have him put our dishcloths in the dishwasher when he does a load of dishes each night.
