I’m excited to report that this weekend was a very productive one! I managed to finish the Orange Sharf and wear it all day Saturday. It’s so soft and springy. I just love it. The only thing that was disappointing was that I found two places where stitches were running away that I didn’t realize were there before I bound off. Thankfully, the stitch pattern in this scarf is messy enough to hide where I had to tie a couple of knots and weave in tails.
The Orange Sharf
Sunday I crocheted two washcloths, one from Cascade Ulta Pima Cotton and one from Classic Elite Sprout Organic Cotton. For both washcloths, I followed a pattern from my newest stitch dictionary, and it was interesting to see how different the patterned portion looked simply because of the yarn I used.

Sprout Organic Cotton
You’ll notice that I made the white washcloth with handles so that I can more easily wash my back. An unintended consequence of this shape kind of makes the washcloth look like a maxi pad. Oh well…. stitch and learn, right?
The Sprout Organic Cotton (white) washcloth definitely absorbs water and soap well and feels great on my skin. I plan to make more washcloths with this same yarn but I think I’ll used a more tight and closed stitch combination instead of what you see here.
What have you been stitching on?
