Booksaver, If you are working or were working on a sports bra project, do you own a serger for knitted projects? Just curious.
I bought a cone of P 'n' C cotton kitchen yarn at WM today. The color isn't listed on the inside underneath the cones any longer, it's not on the label, so I don't know the name of this color.
If I went to their website, I "might" be able to tell the name of it from a small swatch, but that's even "iffy" because those photos are so very small.
Let me run and grab my cone, so I can describe the colors.
Okay. It's mainly white with a touch of yellow, pretty bright aqua and a lime green that's on the bright side. The yellow's bright, then goes pastel, as do the other colors, too. But the main color of the entire cone is white. I plan on making facecloths from it. I use that pattern where you chain 1, single crochet in chain-1 space below, across, turn, chain 2, and repeat. Sometimes I single crochet the edging, HDC it or double crochet it. However, recently I was crocheting a round dishcloth pattern, which had a ruffle-looking edging. You single crocheted in 1 stitch, chained 3, single crocheted in the next stitch. I thought, since this cone's in a feminine-looking color scheme, the ruffle edging would look pretty, on it, too. Also, there is another variation on an edging. You slip stitch in a stitch, chain 4, skip 3 stitches, slip stitch in the next stitch around. It makes it look sort of like U-shape chain to it. It's not as pretty as the ruffle one I talked about previously. I'll use my old facecloths for cleaning, in the bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room, since they're faded, have pills on them, etc....
Also, I have dgd's afghan Grannies to do. About 16 of them will be raspberry in the center 2 rounds of the Granny. Rather than do the raspberry middle, then 4 rounds white, 1 round raspberry, edged in white HDC, I thought it might be fun to assembly line fashion do the squares. I labeled a gallon Ziploc bag "raspberry center Grannies," to put in the 2-round raspberry centers inside. After I get 16 of them done, I can continue with the white part, then either finish them each or do them in steps, of color, stitches, until they're done. Also, the squares with the butterflies on them, are white Grannies for 5 rounds, then 1 round raspberry with HDC white edging. I have a Ziploc for them, too. After I get them done, I'll make up a bunch of butterflies. After I attach each butterfly, I can join squares, then edge the afghan. It shouldn't take very long to get it done, if I don't get side-tracked.
But if I work on and off, during Easter week, while I do Easter cleaning, which is also my spring cleaning, I think I can get a lot done.
After dgd's afghan's done, I'll store it in my hope chest, then start on 1 dgrson's afghan. I have the colors all together in totes and a pattern, which is 50" x 50" without the border. I'm striping it. It's the Easy Patterned Throw from Crochet Me website. I made it before, in bands of red and white, but elongated it, to make it a rectangle for Ddil.
I got so long-winded!
