Answers to questions and me being side tracked by yarn!

Well today I thought I would answer some questions from the comments.  I was asked by Jaguarrior, who posted "I love to do Dishcloth Kals, and on months where I'm not super busy (eeek christmas is coming!) I'll knit 2-3 a month. A dishcloth a month would be perfect! Are you going to do it like a calendar or just release one a month? "  The answer is I have been thinking about formatting the pattern to maybe look like a calender, of course this will be after I write the pattern and start the formatting.  Now my thinking is to do a blank calender so you could use it every year if you wanted, but then I was also thinking of just doing it as a collection of the 12 patterns instead.  I was also thinking a dish rag a month club could be something fun to do but that is something I would look into maybe next year.  Please continue to post on the thread below this one for the contest and I am reading your posts and will answer any questions as they come up.

Now on to being side tracked by yarn....OK so I was all ready to be good and work on the chart I have been putting off for 2 days and then work on the foot stool and this sneaky ball of Berroco Comfort chunky that I had left over from my scarf set that is in testing kept taunting me...."Patricia don't you want to play with my soft fibery goodness?"  it was saying.  So being weak I gave in and hopefully by Monday I will be putting into testing my new cowl!!!! 

Well now I am off to eat dinner and then back to knitting!  Have a great evening and see you here tomorrow!

Designing in a better order???

I have come to the conclusion that I need to do my designs in a better order.  Right now I have 4 throw blankets and the felted foot stool going at the same time.  Which means I am knitting all of them!  I really need to learn to do a small thing a and large thing at one time and not 5 big things at one time as I am knitting my fingers to the bone and not feeling like I am getting any where!  I am going to start a few smaller designs just so I can feel like I am getting something done.

I am also thinking about doing a pattern called Dish Rag a Month!  Now this would be 12 original designs one for each month.  Please post in the comments if this is something you would be interested in.  I will keep a list of everyone that comments and when the pattern comes out I will do the random number generator and one commenter will get the pattern free!

Happy Hump day!!!!

Yes it is the middle of the week and today I have been busy even though it is a dark depressing day today.  I worked on my newest filet crochet chart it is now about 1/4 of the way done!  I finished the last of the mittens for the scarf set I have in testing (I hate having 1 left of mittens or socks hanging over me).  Once I am done writing here I will go back to working on my foot stool which I got 150 yards of yarn knit up since I last wrote here.  I am off to watch something on Hulu now have a great day and if it is nice tomorrow I will try to post some pictures!

My business Cards and a Foot Stool update!

This is the best picture I could get of my new business cards!  I love how they came out.  I got them at Vista printing http://www.vistaprint.com, your first order is free you just pay for shipping!

Above you can see the 1/2 done Foot Stool now this will be felted but so far I have used 6 skeins of yarn and I have 5 to go!  It is 24 inches across and so far 11 inches long, I already have the bottom piece done.  Once it is 32-36 inches long I will felt the whole thing and then sew the bottom on with the zipper.  This is going to Knit Picks for the IDP program! 

I hope you all have a great and productive day!
