That's very christmas-y. I'm curious, I did face clothes in a design like that, very open, and I didn't like it at all when it came to using it. I found that I want very closed stitches for the center and leave the open work for the borders. What do you think?

when i was working it, it got more open as i went, not so open in the middle, just my experience, but since i don't actually use them, i give most of them away, i'll have to ask the recipients.

I'd be curious to know. Thanks for being willing to ask. I'd also love to know what you have found to be the perfect size.

Do you do borders for your finger, face, hand, and bath towels to bring the entire set together?

Jen, I have one made like that. I think you sent it to me a while back and I use it for a trivet because it's too loose for a dish cloth.

bayou girl · « **Reply #6 on:** Feb 11, 2013, 09:18:25 PM »

i think i made you one that was looser than this one. i made some that were loser. i'll have to put you on the list for some of the tighter ones.

I was told these were dish cloths and that is how I use them. They are just scratchy enough to scrub off dried on things without scratching. The store bought ones are too soft and thin for a lot of what I like to do with them. These fill a niche in my kitchen.

Someone told me one time that crocheted dish cloths were the Cadillac of dish cloths.

bayou girl · « **Reply #9 on:** Feb 12, 2013, 09:16:20 PM »

sheri, i thought you told me that! when i get this batch made, i'll make you one that is done with a tighter stitch.

I'm back to working on the Garden Bed Shawl. I'll get a picture of the foundation when it is a little farther along and there is at least one completed pattern done.

I did get a picture it's over in Ravelry on my project page. I'm TKHooper over there.

Nice duh. I also like the Valentines muff and the slim muff. You've been a busy girl.

duh · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 21, 2013, 10:30:58 AM »

The Valentine is a muffler what you might call a scarf.

The projects actually span several years. Only the top 7 fall within the 2013 time frame.

Today I am working on a mixed project, the Aqua Washcloths. There will 4 of them when all is said and done. The aqua is knitted using a moss stitch and the edging is just dc. But I like it. I put the first one in the guest bathroom. There is a picture over at the other website. I'm afraid to link incase it is a no-no. I know that something like linking causes bandwidth problems so unless everything is on one site or photobucket I'm afraid to link.

I'll check it out.

I took some of the stuff I've designed to show Edie yesterday. She ended up buying my barbie's cocktail dress. I hadn't planned to sell anything but it's hard to tell Edie no. And it was nice to be appreciated. I'll have to make up another one in that design. It was a favorite.

I'm working on the border of the second washcloth.

duh · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 11:41:38 AM »

After pleading with the photobucket software for a while I finally have some pictures.

According to what photobucket said when I moved these all old links were broken so if you see a blank picture and you want the link fixed let me know and I'll do my best to put a new link up.

Very nice work, Tammy.

bestofour · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 01:32:03 PM »

I just love the blues.

duh · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 03:36:15 PM »

Thank you. There are a lot of blues aren't there?

bayou girl · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 09:24:55 PM »

blue is my favorite color, so you're good

very nice work. i really like the pineapple work. i have admired it, but never found anything i liked well enough to actually try to make. maybe one day.

duh · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 23, 2013, 03:19:31 PM »

There are some great tablecloth pineapple designs but it takes a lot of time to do them because it is lace weight yarn and a big project. I actually did this with caron ww rather than the #10 thread it called for. I knew I wanted something wall mounted rather than wearable so it would work.

Actually once you get used to the pattern of the pineapples it goes very quickly. The pattern itself will remind you of where you are so that checking back to the pattern doesn't happen all that often.
