I feel I had a rather productive week sick.

Daffodil cloth

As part of an attempt to highlight the Irish Cancer Society's Daffodil Day this coming Friday 26th March I'm knitting and crocheting some Daffodil themed items, this is a Daffodil Cloth in a cotton/linen mix called Kon-Tiki by Stylecraft in the Parchment Marble 1459 colourway.


A little too narrow for the length but still a nice pattern.

Dishcloths

Dishcloths can be fun to knit, they're also a good way of curing yourself of feeling like your knitting is precious!

These two are made using short-rows, a method of knitting where you don't knit all the way to the end so you can create shapes.

The Four-corner dishcloth

for this one you knit it in four pieces forming corners as you go and then graft it together. I'm not 100% happy with the graft but for something to do cleaning up with it's not a bad thing, if I make another few of them or ones like it I can practice it more. This is another good thing with Dishcloths, slight flaws and minor errors aren't really important to the dirt you're sweeping up or scrubbing off!

A Multidirectional Diagonal Dishcloth.

this one is a good introduction to short-row diagonals. If you're thinking about knitting a scarf with this technique this is a good practice piece!
