Knitwittery returns — and other simple creativity
Hooray. I’ve finished a knitted dishcloth.
It will be useful though not ornamental.
Can a girl ever have too many dishcloths?
In my lodgings we have most modern conveniences, but we don’t have a dishwasher, so a dishcloth comes in useful.
Happily, my stab at knitting dishcloth ended up looking as it was supposed to this time, and not like the front of a thong (which my previous attempt at a similar project did).
At the Wednesday craft group we were working on making simple lanterns (to hold tea lights — battery-operated ones, not those that burn a naked flame). These are still a work in progress.
On Friday I went to the Zentangling group. The theme was Halloween.
I designed a zentangle depicting a tipsy witch.
Another design I made was of a cat, but not a black one, because it was easier to draw lines representing the cat’s fur (for me at least) if the cat was not depicted as solid black.
I found these activities enjoyable. I may make another dishcloth, though perhaps try a slightly more elaborate pattern. There’s no reason an item shouldn’t be both useful and ornamental.
