For the past couple of days, I have been reteaching myself how to knit. I’ve become just a little obsessed, as a matter of fact, to the extent that I haven’t been cleaning the house, as you can so plainly see in my picture! Why am I having this sudden obsession with knitting, since I haven’t knitted in years and have never finished anything?
I signed up for a new Fellowship Group at my church called “Knit and Know Him.” So I think I’d at least better be able to bring my knitting needles and knit a little something! I started knitting this dishcloth yesterday, reviewing how to cast on, knit and purl. I picked a simple pattern called “Simple Weave,” although I think it looks like shooting stars. Don’t you? (Maybe not….)
To make up for my neglect yesterday, I have been all business this morning. I finished a small load of laundry (unheard of!) and put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. (What?!?)
And also, wrote a small blog post.

Hehe.. This reminded me of my wife.. She just learned how to crochet a couple of weeks ago and she’s obsessed now too. I think it’s a great hobbie.. She is crocheting cell phone covers.. With a button closure/clasp and handle. I think they are pretty great! 🙂 It’s a great hobby to have. Your knitting looks great. Much better than I would be able to do I think.
Oh no! You’re a dishcloth knitter, when everybody knows they should be crocheted!!!
Seriously though, that is a great pattern and so far it’s looking fantastic. Whether you will ever use it as a dishcloth? Can’t wait to see the finished item.
PS: my mum used to knit potholders and my dad and I just teased her about it. Since everybody knows they should be crocheted.

So now you’re going to make me teach myself how to crochet? That’s brutal! 😉 There are a couple of people who crochet in our new group, so maybe I’ll have one of them teach me!
