My "Candy Corn Illusion" dishcloth is finished!

My "Candy Corn Illusion" cloth (Dishcloth Fun KAL) is finished. Getting good pictures is rather difficult. I had fun knitting this illusion cloth. When you look at it head on it looks pretty much like a striped cloth....
....but, at an angle it's a different story......
Can you see the image of the candy corn? I have to admit I enjoyed knitting it, but I can't truthfully say it's one of my favorite dishcloths. I think in the future I'll probably stick with the ball bands, which are my all time favorite! I must say though it is fun to try something different.

(edited by hakucho on 1/7/2007) Judith deleted the Dishcloth Fun KAL blog, and started a new KAL: FunknittingdishclothsKAL. She also has a separate blog for all the patterns we have done so far. You can find links to all the patterns there. The pattern for the candy corn illusion cloth can be found here: http://www.knittingknonsense.com/candycorn_illusion.html

Happy Knitting :)

Delicious Cornbread Rolls

Last night I made Janice's (from Willow Ways Knitting) recipe for "Cornbread Rolls". They were fabulous!! They were ready just in time for dinner, so unfortunately I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of them before they got all gobbled up! The recipe is Janice's mother's who took 'grand champion' at Ortonville, Minnesota county fair. Thanks so much Janice for sharing the recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper in my house. :)

It's a mystery??

The new knit-a-long for Dishcloth Fun KAL is a mystery! We were told to have on hand for supplies:

size 7 knitting needles
1 oz each of white, yellow, and pink, orange, or brown cotton yarn
also 2 oz black cotton yarn.

Every day Judith will post a few lines of the pattern, therefore keeping us in suspense!

I was a little bit behind because I couldn't start the knit-a-long until last night. I have three days worth of the pattern now finished and thought I'd show you what I've done so far.

In my travels through knittingland I have heard about shadow knitting, but I've never tried the technique. In my opinion I think this is definitely shadow knitting. I have strong suspicions that this cloth probably has a Halloween theme because of the color palette. Do you think it might possibly be the candy corn pattern? I have a hunch it is. :)
