I've been knittin'!
First off we have a couple of objects made with a skein of James C. Brett Kool Kotton that I found for $2 in the bargain bin at my LYS.
This washcloth is special because it was my first foray into lace-type knitting. You might not qualify a couple yo's and a k2t here and there as lace, but I was proud to learn a new skill. Pattern is "Baby Fern Stitch found at The dishcloth boutique. A great, superfun resource for dishcloth patterns.
These are a kerchief made from a pattern found at Mind's Eye Yarns. A very cute pattern that results in a wonderful, light, well-draping kerchief. It knits up very quickly, but I would suggest a few changes to anyone wanting a jerchief of their own: On Row 5 of the pattern stitch, after Sl1, yo before the K5. Also, when making the tie, CO at least 30 stiches, maybe a few more depending on how big a head you are knitting for.
This is a bag I made from Crystal Palace Deco Ribbon. The pattern can be found at Straw.com. I modified it a bit, as it called for 16" circular number 9 needles. I had 24" 10.5's, so i increased the pattern by a bit. I love this bag and I love the ribbon yarn. Here is a closeup.
Here is a bonus picture. I bought Anna 2 lbs of sari silk yarn on eBay for her birthday. She was in love with the yarn. For the picture I also dumped a good bit of my stash on her, If you are looking for a good price on sari silk, look for eBay seller Phulbari.
