SABLE Stash Aquisition Beyond Life Expectancy

For this weeks Top 10 In Craft, It’s all about Easy Crafts For Kids

So many different projects to get the creativity flowing.

There are some excellent tips on how to teach crochet to children and how to knit a simple Pom Pom Scarf.

But first a little progress report of my own…

On My Needles

I finished the Wavy Dishcloth by Knitpicks that has turned out well.

I like how it has a different look on the reverse side.

I am using up leftover yarn for a smaller dishcloth in seed stitch.

It’s very bright with a little bit of orange and then the rest in purple!

I will get on to the next pattern which is the Sasa Dishcloth by KnitPicks.
