Tunisian Dishcloth

I've done some Tunisian crochet before, but not a lot, and I'm not sure if I have ever actually finished a project with it before. I was excited to see this post at the Hooked On Needles blog. Tunisian Short Row Dishcloth
Mary Grace did a great video tutorial, and I had a finished tunisian dishcloth in no time! I was wishing I had some other colored cotton around, because it's a bit boring in just plain cream, but it was fun to do.



I'm ready to try something else in tunisian, I think. I love this pattern for a Tunisian Jacket at Crochet Insider. Got the link from Mary Grace's blog. I've tried a couple different size hooks to start this, but I end up with a very thick cloth, a bit too heavy for a sweater for what I want right now, but that's ok. I'd have to fool with that pattern to make it fit, but maybe I'll have time to do that in the not too distant future. Short rows are sooo easy in tunisian!

Afghan From Free Yarn

You can't tell the color very well in these pictures. I just couldn't get a picture that got it right. It's a dark moss green, really.

I would compare it to Homespun by Lion Brand in size and texture. After the first layer or two came off the cone, it was pretty flat, but boy did it come out nice after it was washed! Very fluffy and soft.

I used a pattern from this booklet: Snuggle-Up Baby Afghans I've used the "Squares" pattern for some scrap squares I've been crocheting over the years and holding onto to eventually make up into a scrap afghan, and used that same pattern for the squares for this. I'm not sure of the hook size, though, because it's an old wooden one I've had for ages.

It was fun, and was quick. It's going to a charity, but not sure which. It's kind of neat how the holes at the corners of the squares make a secondary pattern.

Knit my husband some socks. Took me a long time, and boy was it boring! All that black, over so many stitches! He tried them on and wore them for a bit to see how they felt, hence the cat fur on them.

I don't think I'll be making him any more socks for quite awhile. :-)
