with a couple of modifications. This coffee cake is made with a yeast dough flavored with cardamom and has an almond filling, yum! I love baking almost as much as knitting, but knitting is probably better for my waistline!
Knitting dishcloths one at a time, I didn't realize that I was accumulating quite a collection. This summer I have really been addicted to making soooo many. Now I keep looking and buying more yarn to make more...oh no not more! I've been looking for new patterns, too, especially unusual ones which interest me the most. If any one out there has a pattern or link to a pattern be sure and let me know. I love Dave's garterlac pattern. I finished my one and only garterlac dishcloth and I'm definitely making more. Now I have to stop blogging and knit more...
My ball band dishtowel is finally finished. I've been working on it for awhile now. You definitely do not get the instant gratification of knitting a dishcloth when knitting a towel, but it is definitely worth the extra effort. I can't wait to try it out. This will be great for doing all my hand washing of dishes and pots and pans. It's nice and big and I really think it will be very absorbant. I cast on 90 stitches and made 33 ball bands in total. That's twice the width of of a dishcloth and about 2 and 1/2 times the length, which equals about five dishcloths. The yarn I used was Peaches and Cream shaded pastels (pink, blue and mint green) and white. Now I can concentrate on bigger and better things.
