I needed to make some dishcloths for a housewarming gift, and then got a bit carried away, trying to finish up all the bits and bobs of yarn in the bag.
So here is what happened:
|
A house shaped cloth! You start at the roof top; I made it look as much like my friend's house as I could, for a dishcloth! |
|
Commemorative dishrag, in case she ever forgets when she bought her house. |
|
Stephen liked this one, so it's a keeper. Rainbow and green |
|
Some nice leftover bits of reasonable size.
|
|
Mostly green and variegated,
ran out of green and subbed with red! |
|
Round, and a pretty colourway! |
|
A wedge |
|
Using up the icky baby blue/pink and some
horrid beige-with-splats colourway |
|
with a bit of brightness at the top edge. |
|
The never-ending supply of red, with tiny scraps
of other colours, and bits of beige-with-splats |
|
I bought this Christmas yarn in a thrift shop in BC,
before I got hold of the sock project |
|
There was a tiny bit of heavier green yarn,
to make a teeny mat for the teapot, or something like that |
|
This colourway was in my possession for ages.
So ugly. |
|
This is probably the ugliest of all.
Finally the end of the red, scraps of the pretty blue,
the Christmas yarn, the ugly variegated, even some bright white! |
I am left with some beige from this last cloth and a tiny bit of the white, along with a few bits that are not even long enough for a full row of a square cloth. This does not mean I need to rush out to reestablish the dishrag-cotton supply!
Now if I can just work the same trick on the sock yarn... Don't hold your breath.
I liked them all, but I liked the icky baby blue one. And the never ending supply of red, if you want to get rid of the extras. :-)
