On the Desk

 
This has been sitting on my desk for weeks. It was supposed to be part of a pin cushion for the PMQG October swap. I ended up getting a cold and didn't make it to the meeting. Or getting the pin cushion finished :) The devilish character was inspired by this fabric...
I have a few scraps left over from the trick-or-treat bag I made Colin last year. I really like having embroidery patches in my sewing projects. Here is my drawing I used for the embroidery, feel free to use it for your own little project.
I think (wishful thinking here) that I will make it into a little mug rug for Colin. I just need to get myself motivated enough to sew. It is doubtful/highly unlikely this will happen before Halloween. I cannot seem to get anything done unless it is something I can do in the living room and requires only a few supplies.
Happy Halloween! Just in case and more then likely I will not blog again before Sunday, seeing as I hardly ever get on the pc anymore.

Dishcloths

I finished them days before Mother's Day and good thing I did because my mom stopped by yesterday while she was in town :)

I didn't use a pattern for them but I will share with you what I did to make them. I am not an experienced crotchetier by any means and this was one of my first washcloth attempts, so keep that in mind :)

Hook size: H

Chain 34 -or any number (as long as it's an even number( to reach your desired size

Row 1: sc into second chain from hook, *ch 1, skip 1 ch, sc in next ch, repeat from * to end, turn.

Row 2: ch 1, skip first sc, * sc in next sc, ch1, skip 1 sc, repeat from *, row should end with a sc and then turn.

Row 3-36: reapeat row 2

Boarder: I just did two rows of sc all the way around the washcloth and did three sc in each corner.

 

-I forgot to measure my overall size so I guess I will have to make some more so I can get a measurement :)

If you have any questions/comments please feel free to ask/leave your input :) Or if you have any links to fun and easy washcloth pattern's I would love to see them.
