Happy Birthday, Heather! (and numerous dishcloths)

Yet another birthday and more kitchen goodies (I swear there is a trend going on here). This time I decided to do a sage green.












I also got a bunch of dishcloths done for Christmas presents.






















This has now caught me up on the projects that I have completed and photographed. There is still a lot more to photograph and put together.

Happy 65th Anniversary, Sam and Stella

Andrew's sister, Lisa's in-laws celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in August. If you think about it, 65 years is quite a feat! There is not that many of us these days that will end up being married 65 years. I decided to make them things for their kitchen (anyone noticing a trend here...)
I made them an angel dishcloth...Stella loves her angels!!



I made them some plain dishcloths




...and since their kitchen has sunflowers, I made them sunflower potholders and towels.

A few birthday gifts for Maureen (and a few other projects)



So this year for my neighbor, Maureen's birthday, I decided to make her some dishcloths, and potholders for her kitchen in her favorite color, dark green. She has a big collection of teapots and I decided to make her a teapot dishcloth.







Here is a close-up of the teapot design. I thought it came out cute!






She is also into angels. I made her an angel dishcloth that can be hung on the faucet to dry.










Here is a close up of the hanger on the dishcloth.






I also made her a praying hands dishcloth.





Here is a close up of the stitches that make the hands stand out.








I also made her some plain dishcloths because I knew that she wouldn't use the fancy ones!






I also made her some potholders. One can never have too many potholders.





Here is a closeup of one of the potholders.





Here is a patriotic dishcloth that I made and a support the troops dishcloth. I am not sure who these are for yet.






I also made some potholders that I am going to donate to the United Methodist Women at my church. I still want to make more of these for them.





...and I also made a plain crocheted dishcloth.


All of these were either knitted or crocheted with worsted weight cotton yarn.
