My knitting mojo seems to have gone right out the door. I've been knitting for charity for a while now but I'm burned out on scarfs and hats. The other day I found myself watching t.v. without any knitting. That was a weird feeling. I really need to knit at night because it helps me to relax before bed. I ended up knitting a dishcloth which is sort of done now. I still need to bind off. I was looking for a bind off that is a little more stretchy. I found one on You Tube that I going to try. In the mean time I started a baby hat. Oh boy another hat. This one is knitted on straight needles which is okay because I don't have 10.5 circular or double pointed needles. I really don't like to seam but I am I think I am going to try The Bickford Seam that was posted by MissKnitterbugs. So that's it and here are the pics.
The baby hat pattern is from the Velvet Spun ball band. As you can see I have not weaved in the ends or knotted the top. This is a really cute hat that took only a few hours to knit.
This is a nice dishcloth. The pattern is called Bee Stitch Cloth. Knitted with Sugar 'n Cream Naturals Guacamole with size 7 needles.
Here is a close up of the stitch pattern.
I like the bee stitch pattern on the cloth. I know what you mean with the hats and scarves, sometimes you need to shake it up a bit. I started a garter stitch shawl, and I don't know if I'll make it through the whole thing just doing the garter stitch.
