I have been meaning to put a photo up of this for quite some time and just keep forgetting. Whilst trying to avoid the reality of Paul leaving to go OS, I sat down and knitted up a dishcloth one evening in Bamboo wool. I really like using handmade dishcloths and I just love items made out of Bamboo fibre so thought why not for the dishcloth. I have since found the wool comes in a really nice Latte colour so I think I will be knitting quite a few more in the near future.
I think I am going to be very busy over the next couple of months while Paul is away as I have also just decided that I want to make a Candlewicked quilt for when we go back to QLD. I made Jordan a cot sized one with teddybears when I was pregnant and then a doona cover for a friend for Xmas soon after that so now feels like the time to make one for us. I went and bought the material today as Lincraft had a 1/2 price sale on all material - don't you love when that happens and you have a project in mind. Because the quilt is made up by Candlewicking patterns onto squares, I don't tend to lose interest and hence the projects actually get finished. The cot quilt was the first time I had ever made a quilt so it will be interesting to make a "King" sized quilt - thats a lot of candlewicking and sewing but I am up for the challenge.
