My first dish cloth
These are pictures of my dishcloth that I started last night and finished this morning. I found the pattern on knittingmemories.blogspot.com (Link is to the right of this page). It's hard to see the pattern because of the choice of yarns I used, but it is supposed to be a chili pepper. You can see it a little better in the picture on the right, but it's still a little hard to see. I think this yarn will make good dish cloths, but I don't think it will be much good for ones that have a set image in the pattern. So I will be using this particular yarn (Star yarn, see previous post) for patterns utilizing ribbing, garter, or stockinette stitches only.

Yarns from Spinning Yarns
These are the new yarns I found at Spinning Yarns in Dover:
This is the Star yarn that is 99% cotton, 1% lycra. I'm about to get a dishcloth started on it... as soon as I finish this post!
This is going to become a baby hat for a friend that is pregnant and due in June. A hat is about the best I can do right now!
Last but not least, I picked this up on sale while I was there. I only bought one, because I thought I might try it for a dishcloth... anyone know if it makes a good one or not???

New Yarn, current projects, and a big question
Yesterday I hit up that sale at the yarn store, which was awesome! I got some really nice yarn! Here's what I got:
Above: This is everything I purchased at The Yarn Basket yesterday. Not one of these cost me more than $6.
Above: This is Reynolds Rapture brand, color #815 (sorry, no color name). It is 50% silk, 50% wool and SOOOO soft! This is going to become a scarf for my mother in law.
Above: This is Reynolds Rapture, Color #310. It is the same as the above yarn. This will become a scarf for my mother.
Above: this is Reynolds Rapture, color # 714. This picture makes it look far more blue and black than it is - it's really much more of a blue green. I wish I had been able to capture that. This is going to become a scarf for me!!!
This is Tahki Select Trendy yarn, which is a 31% Wool, 57% Polyamid and 12% Acrylic. The color is #0002. You can see it's a lovely shade of blue with some ribbon wound in. This will become a scarf for my sister.
Above: This is a scarf I am currently working on. I have one week to get it done, and I started it on Saturday. Only 4 days left! Eek! It is Pattons Divine yarn. The color is called Richest Rose, but these pictures make it look much too purple. This is a 75.6% Acrylic, 10.5% Wool, 10.5% Mohair and 2.5% Polyester. This was an awesome find, as it knits up quite quickly, and is really, really soft! It has a feel of being an old, comfy scarf but is still brand new!
Now, I have a question for everyone: I am considering starting a... business if you will. I'd like to start making scarves and selling them, both online and at craft fairs. Would people be willing to buy them? I'd love to have some input. Please leave me some comments with your thoughts.

Knitting and other misc. stuff
I have one week to knit a scarf as a very belated Christmas present. John and I found out this weekend that we are getting together with my parents to celebrate Christmas with a long time family friend, and we hadn't gotten her anything! With me being out of work, we wanted to spend as little money as possible, so I agreed to knit her a scarf. After starting and frogging the whole thing about 10 times last night, because I couldn't find a pattern I wanted to do, I finally got the whole thing started with a simple knit one row, purl one row. I can't remember much about it, so I'll post some more info on it either later today or tomorrow.
This afternoon, I'm heading to the LYS to pick up some nice new yarn for a few scarves that will be my Christmas gifts to people. I'm really excited, because this will be the first time I can REALLY afford to buy some nice yarn from there to make some things for people. I can't wait!
Tonight we're having some people over for the Super Bowl. I'm not sure if my next door neighbors are going to come, because they said they may be away, but they've been home all weekend. Who knows.
Subbing has been going pretty well lately. I was called in on Tuesday and Wednesday by Laconia and on Thursday by Rochester. *Sigh.* Rochester was a bit of a nightmare. No. It was a rather large nightmare. I did, however, adore the elementary school I was at on Wednesday. Good kids, wonderful teacher (I subbed for a 1:1 para), it was just an incredibly positive experience all the way around. The middle school teacher that I subbed for a few weeks ago actually requested me for Friday of this past week, but I had a doctors appointment and couldn't go.
So, speaking of the doctors, we're looking for a new way to treat my PCOS, and now I've got to undergo all of this blood work, and possibly even a dye test. I'll have to call my insurance company to find out if it's covered or not, because I've heard of them costing anywhere between $750.00 to $1250.00. We are just not in a place where we can afford that right now, and even if it is covered, we have a $1000.00 deductible. Ouch. So we're going to try and hold off on that one.
Hope everyone has a great day!
