Bobble Bobble

Although really far from being perfect - I have learned to bobble. My mom had this pattern and didn't have any desire to learn how to do it, and I was intrigued by the instructions, because I had no idea what a bobble even was. I guess 'bobble' sounds better than 'wart', though I think wart is more representative of what the silly things turn out looking like! (sorry to all you bobble lovers)
I'm giving this to my mom - she wants it to put under her african violet plant as a coaster kind of thing.

I am happy to say my apron is 12" long (only 3" more to go before the sash). I really thought I would be bored stiff with the pattern, but it's a great mindless project when I'm too tired to keep track of a pattern, but still feel like knitting. And the longer it gets, the more I see how awesome of an apron it's going to be!

Easter Surprises

Lisa, Laurel, and My Mom, Joleen

Now that I have gifted my sisters and my mom with their dishcloths, I can show them to everyone

I gave them each a set of 2; one a pattern in varigated yarn and the other a picture cloth in a nice spring-y green.

This one here is a diamond pattern, that is kind of hard to see. It would probably look better in a solid color.

And a cute flower. These 2 were for Lisa.

I gave Laurel the puffalump limbo pattern and a watering can:

(pretend you don't notice the mistake in the top handle)

And I gave my mom a Mad Dash pattern and a martini glass:

My mom has been knitting some too, and her skein of yarn had a pattern for an apron! How cool would that be? I need to get out and get a bunch of skeins so I can make one. I use a full apron now that is made of cotton cloth, but I'm thinking a knitting waist one would be perfect. I always find I want to dry my hands on my apron, but the cotton cloth isn't very absorbent. Ah yes, so much too knit, so little time......

This is the BEST dishcloth pattern!

Ok, I've only knitted 2 dishcloths, so I'm far from an expert on the subject, but I really really like this pattern. I haven't used it yet, as it's hot off the needles so to speak, but I can tell it's going to be a perfect dishcloth. Thanks Deb for sharing your pattern!
