7 of 60 done.
60 is my goal before the end of July. That’s 5 per month, which sounds pretty reasonable when I say it like that. If I designate Friday night Square Night, say, while we watch a movie. That would be 4 without any trouble.
I’m using a modified version of the Grandma’s Favourite Dishcloth pattern for these. I kfb and k2tog so that there are no holes.
This is my favourite of the batch.
I simply joined the red colour with an extra long tail. Once I was done knitting, I sewed the yarn in the back along the stripe until halfway. Then I came up on the right side and began the heart in chain stitch. To get the bottom to point a bit better, I actually secured the loop there as though I was done sewing, then came up in that loop and carried on with the second side.
LOVE! I’m going to start mine after I get my hopefully planned knit for KnitEast finished. I’m planning some different squares.
love it! thanks for posting to the a-long on my blog as well! i agree that knitting these while watchign a movie or a tv show definitely makes them get doen a lot faster!
