There’s nothing like knitting a pattern just to make yourself smile. I ran across this dishcloth pattern on Ravelry and couldn’t resist. We have had endlessly crappy weather, and more snow than I’ve seen here in the past 3 years:
This was the view out my car window last Sunday. I gave up trying to drive in it and went home.
This is the Azalea bush in front of my house. Yes, those are icicles on it. Yes, I’m sick of winter already.
So when I ran across the Cupcake Dishcloth (Ravelry link), I couldn’t help but cast-on immediately. It went really quickly, and it just made me happy. I think this might become an obsessive knit though, because I’m half-way through a second one, and my other projects have taken a back seat to playing with color combinations. It wasn’t a completely frivolous knit though, because it does use a provisional cast-on, which I’ve never done before, so I learned something new. And if all it takes to get through the winter is a few silly dishcloths and some kitchen cotton, then I’m not going to complain.
