Wynne Crochet Knit Wits

I joined a 12 month Potholder swap back in May and I am Ms. November. This is what I have received so far and still waiting for three more people to send.

This is my most recent cloth. It came all the way from Wales! I'm so excited since it is my first overseas swap and gift! I love it! Thanks to holisticknitter!

This is the scarf and goodies I received from my secret scarf partner.

I purchased all 12 month patterns as well as the wedding dress pattern from Annie's Attic back in December. Here is January finished finally.

I do apologize for not posting anything lately. I have done several dozen projects since my last post but usually forgot to take a pic before mailing them off or giving them away. I am working on a few project now, a DJ bag from Son of Stitch & Bitch for my oldest son and a Celtic Knot Scarf for myself.

I promise I will take pics of these as well as all the dishcloths I am going to be making and post them when I get my computer back. I am on a borrowed comp so I can't do much on it.

Here is my scarf I promised.



The pattern is as follows:

Dual Sided Reversible Duck Scarf

Needles: Size 8 (5 mm)
1 row/stitch counter (for keeping track of what row you are on)
5 rows = 1 inch

Yarn: Two skeins worsted weight yarn that complements each other. I used:
Color A: Red Heart Super Saver Delft Blue
Color B: Red Heart Super Saver Shocking Pink

CO 52 stitches (there should be 26 of each color) Make sure the colors alternate so you don’t have two of the same color stitches next to each other. It should start with Color A and end with Color B.

Remember on the first Purl stitch of each row, bring your Purl color around and over the top from back to front. If you don’t then your two sides will not be connected. You can always go back and stitch them together after you are done.

Row 1: *K1, P1 Repeat from * to end. Knit Color B, Purl Color A.
Row 2: *K1, P1 Repeat from * to end. Knit Color A, Purl Color B.
Row 3: Repeat Row 1
Row 4: Repeat Row 2
Row 5: Repeat Row 1

You will notice, now one side is Color A and the other side if Color B.

This is where the checker board pattern starts.

Keep your Knit color in back and Purl color in Front. Basically, Knit with the yarn in back and Purl with the yarn in front. Your knit color will be the color of the first stitch on the needle. Unless otherwise told.

Switching yarns means to put the yarn that is in front in the back and the one that is in back in the front.

Row 6: With Color A in Front and Color B in back P1, K1 five times. Switch yarns K1, P1 five times. Switch yarns P1, K1 six times. Switch yarns, K1, P1 five times. Switch yarns P1, K1 five times.

Now you are ready to start on the actual Duck pattern. This will be repeated three to four times depending on how long you want your scarf then everything will be reversed so your ducks are all facing each other (or away from each other) when you have it hanging around your neck.

This is from my Third cloth swap. I absolutely love the cloth and the soap.. Lavendar is my fav!

This is what I received from my second cloth swap

This is the Circles Dishcloth and I found it rather neat to make. I really like the odd cloths and think it would be great for a scrubbing cloth for the body. At least that is what I am going to use it for if I don't gift it to someone.

This is the Petal Dishcloth. each petal consists of seven rows which are repeated twelve times. I find it very cute.

I finally got around to making the Ballband Dishcloth. It was fairly simple and I think it came out great. Though I may use it as a wash cloth instead of a dishcloth.

I joined a Dishcloth and Soap Swap on Ravelry.com and sent out my first swap and received my first.

This is what I sent:



And this is what I received:

Well, I finished the hat and of course after altering it the way mom's husband wanted, he decided he didn't like it because it had too much pink in it.

This is the start of my Hat of many colors. Mom's Husband wanted one so I am using five different prints from Red heart that I had left over to make it, and boy does he have a big head... 24 inches!
