Loose Threads

Not With a Bang...

I have held onto this site, I have thought over and over how to open this blog, what grand thing should I start with? I decided to start with this little dish cloth because I think it says a lot about me.
I found the pattern for this cloth through the Monthly Dishcloth KAL group. One of the group members had written about it and when the magzine was no longer available Creative Knitting was nice enough to put it on their website.
I think one of the things this cloth says about me is that I am a process person. If not, would I be knitting dishcloths? Would I be going to this much trouble for something to clean my dishes if the end product was my real goal. No, the real goal was just to knit.
It tells you I am foolish enough to buy a pair of needles that I thought would look photogenic, they were nice to knit with, too. I think they will become the permanant dishcloth needles. They do look nice, don't they?
It tells you that as much of a yarn snob as I am, I also love simple Sugar and Cream cotton.
It tells you that I have 'trouble staying in the lines' and can never seem to follow the pattern all the way, I had to change the count on the cables, I just had to...
It tells you that even someone who has been knitting for over 40 years can find pride in a simple dishcloth. Beind a process person, I don't seem to finish a lot, I know this and I know enough to find joy in whatever I can accomplish.
