log cabin

Have been looking for a pattern for log cabin washcloths, etc.  HERE's one from a great crafts/knitting resource I found this morning: the purl bee.  It's so fun to have a cold-weather hobbie (knitting), especially since Cillian is learning too, and I still meet with the K2D2 (knit 2 drink 2...) girls on occasion.  Excited to get to go home in a week and a half to knit with Grandmom, too!

Another amazing online knitting resource:  www.ravelry.com.   (You've got to make an account, but they only ask for your email and name.)

Just finished this washcloth - so pretty!  And functional.  But I'd reeeeally like to knit something like THIS.  Just a little more practice, perhaps...

hannah girl was so small when she was born that her body couldn't hold heat; she had to wear hats all the time! so i knitted her one. i could've chosen the sweet pink baby yarn, but went for this colorful stuff instead. {have to live up to being "hippie auntie amy," who sends her clothes with peace signs, invites her on hiking trips, takes her to concerts...}
