Rosie says, I'm a Princess today, and ready to Knit !


Day 2 -
July 1st 2017 KAL

"The Eagle Has Landed" designed by Elaine Fitzpatrick - see below for her website to obtain this pattern and MANY others too!

Hope everyone has their pattern - anyone finished yet?  it's a quick knit, with just knits and purls - I used a new yarn, Yarnspirations Caron Cotton Cakes in a self-striping colors of Red White Blue- the color name is Maritimes.   It's a nice yarn, drapes well for a soft dishcloth, not stiff or bulky.  It is a # 4 medium yarn, 60% cotton, 40% acrylic.  I would rather buy USA made yarn, but thought I'd take a look at how this knits up - 

Please, post your finished cloths on our yahoo albums so we can all see them -

Have a Happy Fourth of July holiday ~

  

July 1st 2017 KAL - Day 1

Note:  to make it a la` July 4th/patriotic use 1 skein of  Red OR White OR Blue

This is a PICTURE cloth - 

NOTE: you want fabric to be fairly dense so design will *pop* out -  if you are a loose knitter, you may want to drop down a needle size
