Winter Wonder Cloths...

I had some extra creative bursts of energy this week. I wasn't sure I would be able to pull it off either. With the entire house out of commission due to the cold that I kind of brought in, theres been a lot of extra chores and cuddling. I have been working on the Winter Cloths for awhile now but really sat down this week to finish everything. I'm in love with them. They came out so gorgeous and photographed so beautifully that I think I might just keep these for myself.


So much went into these cloths. They were definitely a family affair. I almost had to re-knit the snowman because my son hid it on me before I finished knitting up the others. We found it in the toy basket a few days ago. I'm thankful to have such a supportive family that allows me do what I love.


I'm really behind on blogging at the moment. There are so many projects I want to share. I'll try to get some pictures up later this week. I took a quick trip up to Boston this weekend with some good friends. The weather stayed nice until the drive home, but it was relaxing to get away.


A lot of people have been asking about the colors I use on my cloths. I'm going to have to admit that I really haven't payed too much attention to it and I apologize. I did have a bag with all of my yarn labels in it but DH has apparently thrown it away. I probably shouldn't point fingers. :) Instead I will list the names of all the yarns used from now on.

In this set I have used (in no particular order)

Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid : 01215: Robin's Egg (Turquoise)
Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid : 00026: Light Blue (Blue)
Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid : 00083: Cornflower Blue (Blue)
Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid : 00001: White (White)
Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid : 00007: Ivory (Off White)
Peaches & Creme Solids : #24 Williamsburg Blue (Blue)

I'm still going to try for another cloth set or two by the middle of November. If I could have my way I would publish two different Christmas sets as I'm having a lil' trouble choosing which designs to include. There are just so many. Holiday knitting and crafting is in full swing at my house these days. Hope I can finish on time.





Here is a preview of the download. It follows the same format as the Thanksgiving Cloths from earlier this month. The pattern is available as a PDF download and priced at $3.25. You can obtain this pattern if you are a Ravelry member by clicking the "Buy Now" button below the preview. Thanksgiving/Autumn Cloths are also available in my Pattern Store here as a Ravelry Download.


There are six patterns all together. I made each written pattern with a corresponding chart for the dishcloth. From the sets that I've already made, I've managed to get about 2-2½ cloths out of one ball of Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid Yarn. Though you can use any kitchen cotton you prefer. If I do gift these cloths they will end up in a pretty basket like in the picture above and hopefully be used as festive washcloths.
