New Finished Objects!

I joined a Knitalong group this year and have been having a lot of fun knitting some really cute cloths. The challenge is to knit 24 cloths during the year- 2 each month- and so far, I'm right on track! Unfortunately, with the whole computer fiasco, I have not been able to post any pictures of them yet! But, here they are!

The first January cloth was this football- I finished it while watching the Pats beat the Chargers. (I don't even want to talk about the Superbowl.) I used white P&C yarn and size 7 needles. A quick and easy cloth to get me back into knitting- and only my 5th knitted FO ever!



I'll post the whole story about the second January cloth later, but here's a pic of the finished object anyway.
I used some yarn I had- see future post for details- and size 5 needles because I wanted a tight, small cloth and needed to make sure I had enough yarn to make it all. I think the pooling is interesting, but it does obscure the pattern some.



I did the first February cloth, a wicked cute chocolate box in P&C red, but I gave it to my 2 year old to admire, and cannot find it to photograph it now! So instead, enjoy my new favorite cloth- "radiating hearts" in bright pink. I really like the pattern and absolutely love the color! (So would my sil, and it would be a great house warming gift for her, but I don't know that I can part with it-- knitting the ssks was fine, but the k2togs gave my fingers wicked cramps!)


I did finish LIly's crochet sweater and one for her doll- and took a pic of them- but the pic disappeared from my camera and I've given the sweaters to her already. I think it had something to do with my 2 yr old again! Hopefully I'll have pics of that soon.
