oh the delight of $1.27 balls of cotton yarn

As I knit a Ballband Dishcloth (Mason-Dixon Knitting pg 21) I can’t help but stop to stare after I finish each row. It’s such a simple pattern of knits and purls and slips. Yet the results look a little more intricate. It almost has a woven look. It’s like the guitar playing of The Edge. It sounds fancy…but it’s all about the chorus peddle. I think I would love a blanket of sewn together Ballband Dishcloth squares. I may not know how to quilt like my grandmothers did. But I can sew together dish cloths, can’t I? I think Nancy & Thelma would be pleased. Or at the least amused.

p.s. Did you see the season finale of Gilmore Girls last night? Wha wha whadda hudda who? huh!?!?!?

Exactly Lorelai, exactly.

I, too, am making the warshrags right now. I love the pattern. Like you said, it is so simple but looks wonderful! I can't wait to see your color choices!

lCara - I really thought my head was going to explode. Brains splattered on the wall. I would not be getting my deposit back after that!

my disdain for loreli's choice to hit the sack with good ole christopher was balanced out last night by THE MOST POWERFUL "THE OFFICE" EVER! finally finally, cute sweet jim told pam "i am in love with you!" and they kissed. it was a dream come true - i never thought it would actually happen! its like all those times in middle school when i day dreamed about scott fudenburg professing his love for me between social studies and gym - knowing quite it would never happen - but this . . . this DID happen.
