We interrupt this family free-for-all to bring you some knitting. Or some unsolicited knitting advice, cos doesn't everyone love a little unsolicited advice? I know I do! Especially from the lunch room ladies!
Remember that garterlac dish rag I whipped out one Saturday morning not too long ago? Yeah, that made me cocky and too sure of my self. Too sure of myself.
I volunteered to be an angel for the One Skein Secret Pal exchange. I felt terrible that some people got nothing. I have to come up with a hand knit gift and quick. My SP lives in the south so a wool hat or some such thing would be useless to her. So I thought, what about a garterlac done in cotton chenille as a spa wash cloth? Some nice soap, etc. I'd be all set.
In retrospect I think the vareigation in the Peaches n' Cream helped me keep track of where I was at in the pattern when I did the dish cloth. I also think (and this is perhaps the most important factor) that doing in alone in a room was the key to my earlier success. Not so with the spa cloth. First, it's all one color. Second, I tried to do it while watching t.v. with a 14 year old and two dogs. Bad idea. I've ripped it out twice all ready. The cotton chenille is not loving the frogging.
Back to it. Wish me luck.
BTW, did you read my sister's comments? As if anything I've ever done that my parents don't already know about would shock them!

Sounds like a great idea for a gift. Good luck!
Like knittymama said, it's a great idea for a gift. The "alone factor" is huge. I can barely do anything if someone is talking to me, music is playing, etc. Good luck!
Sounds yummy - hopefully you are now working on it someplace quiet. :)
It sounds like a great idea for a gift. Hopefully you can find a nice, quiet place to work on it.
