| I will look at that more closely, but already there are terms I don't know! But I am pretty sure you guys will help me! BTW, Miss Kitty, the Harmony needles you sent me in the cabin fever swap- I love them! I am using them for this dishcloth and they are sooooo smooth! And the colors. I didn't appreciate the colors on the needles until I started using them. So nice! Thank you so much for introducing me to such beautiful tools! |

| There are things in the pattern I don't know how to do. I haven't done slip stitches? yet and I don't quite understand YB or YF and why. The I Love This Cotton is really smooth, soft and shiny. But it didn't show the stitches up like the lion brand cotton I used on the other cloth. Later today I will post a pic of the one I finished last night. |

The slip stitch you just slip the stitch from left hand needle to the right hand needle like you are going to purl it.. The yb is to put the yarn in back of your work, Like you were to knit. yf is just to have the yarn in front as if to purl.
They want you to do that so that the yarn is not crossing over the slip stitch on the right (front side) of the dishcloth.. Only crossing in the back.
As in the picture the vertical white stitches. Those are the slip stitches.. |

Wow! I had no idea slip stitches were that easy! Thanks! Now here is the I Love That Cotton cloth Springing Up Flowers in Sage.
The first one is kinda hard to see but it shows the color better. The second one is with the flash and it shows the pattern better. |

Tina, I am about to spend some money on the digknitty site. But that is a deal on her buy 5 get 5 free, etc sale!
Yeah, Kathy, it is fun to learn something new and be able to share our little steps as well as big ones! When I learned to crochet, it was books or mags you had to buy, or friends and I only had one friend that crocheted and all she did was afghans. I've learned a whole lot more since the internet became a resource. |

Oh, idea just popped into my head. These dishcloth patterns can be turned into hot pads. Yeah, I just ordered some dishcloth patterns from Lisa at the digknitty site and it took a lonnng time to decide with all she had to offer. woohoo!!!!!!!!
I got some pretty ones!!! And some pretty unique ones that I will give the FOs as gifts. I am excited! Now for real I have to get busy working out and then on to the crochet top. |

| How you going to work an afghan. squares then assemble them? I also thought about doing a hand towel, just use the pattern in the center or on one end or both. Haven't thought that one through yet. I just pulled out my knitting needles to start one of the ones I got today in my email from digknitty. She was fast to send after my paypal confirmation went through. Oh, I love, love new patterns! |

Yea, do the squares and then sew them together for an afghan or pillow.
ahhh, You could do a square from the bottom to top. Make it about half way for a towel, don't bind off. Make another one the same size then use a Kitchener Stitch (graft) them together.
