Holiday gift entry given to Cheryl

I will post the finished pics which I took all at once after they were given a bath and patted to dry. The light wasn't good that day, but with 12 guests coming in a couple of hours, it was the best I could do. I'm going into overload trying to post these. Lesson for next time is to post the start and then take a pic of the finished items in a group. Wish I had done that this time! Sorry it is such a muddle and not as interesting to look at, but after all of this, I wanted to post them. I have lots more that I won't be posting. Need to get back to the 12/12/12 sock!

All of these cloths went home with my friend, Cheryl to use in her new house. I think I posted the starts of these already.

holiday gift entry given to Chris

I am getting lost trying to find some of these pics in my computer to show progress and finished items. I think I posted most of the starts already. All have been given to our friend, Chris who is now hooked on handknit dishcloths which of course delights me. The British Isles cloth and helicopter are Marilyn Wallace designs. Alligator, roo, and horse are by Lisa Millan.

gift entry

I recently got some red cotton 10 ply yarn (scarce as hen's teeth here in Oz) with Christmas gifts in mind. I decided to make some patriotic cloths and KEEP all of them as a gift to myself. :) I liked knitting all of them and they were fast, fun, easy and I like the finished items. I took some progress pics and one of them all together. 5 patterns, 6 cloths (tried 2 different needle sizes for one of them and decided I prefer the 4.00mm for this yarn).

See my Ravelry project page for more details of any of the cloths I've made recently (peacockmom on rav). All of these were made from Bernat Handicrafter Holidays solid in Christmas Red. Patterns are: Heart Flag and Flag in a Heart designed by Lisa Millan; USA Star by Carol Callaway; American Flag Dishcloth by Emily Jagos; and Long May She Wave by Sue Schaefer.
