starfish cloth

June 6, 2008 in free patterns, knitted dishcloths, knitting by Sew Funky | 32 comments

This is going to become one of my FAVOURITE CLOTHS of all time, it looks so CUTE and is so EASY to make…

Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 4mm needles. I used Anchor Magicline for this cloth, which gave it a lovely effect – it’s a self-striping yarn.

Instructions:

Cast on 15 stitches.

This cloth is made up of 6 wedges, all exactly the same. Then the edge is sewn together, the threads are sewn in and the cloth is complete. :)

Every wedge:

Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 3 stitches, P3.

Row 2: K3, YO, K to last st, turn.

Row 4: K3, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.

Row 6: K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.

Row 8: K3, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.

Row 10: K3, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.

Row 12: K3, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.

Row 14: K3, YO, K to last 7 sts, turn.

Row 16: K3, YO, K to last 8 sts, turn.

Row 18: K3, YO, K to last 9 sts, turn.

Row 20: K3, YO, K to last 10 sts, turn.

Row 22: K3, YO, K to last 11 sts, turn.

Row 24: K3, YO, K to last 12 sts, turn.

Row 26: Cast off 12 sts, K to end of row.

Now, look at how EASY that wedge is! You won’t even have to print the pattern out!!! :)

You can find a printable version of this pattern here: Free Dishcloth Patterns from sew-funky.com.

sick – she croaks…

June 6, 2008 in blah-de-blah by Sew Funky | No comments

I’m sick, the losing your voice kind of sick.

So, today, I am going to curl up on the couch with some knitting and watch some stupid non-thinking television.

Tomorrow, I am meant to be attending a conference on Autism so I need to get better QUICK!

What I hate about losing your voice is that you have to struggle to make yourself heard. Getting kid’s ready for school becomes a nightmare as your voice changes sporadically from squeaks to shrills to the most deep manly sounds… My kid’s thought the manly sounds were hilarious, but I am unamused!

Sorry about the moan, I’ll be back to normal soon – promise. Before I go and lie or is that die ;) on the couch, I have a gift for you – a new cloth pattern…
