So my grandfather was in the hospital because of a fainting spell. After I got home from summer school, I stayed in the hospital for a bit. In the meantime, I knit a washcloth for VLM. The pattern was pretty straightforward. I knit it based on the heel of a sock that I just knit.
Materials:
Yarn: Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn; Color: Red
Needles: Size US 9
Notes:
Chinese Wave Stitch Pattern
1. *K1, move yarn to back as if to purl, sl 1, bring yarn forward, rep from * until end of row.
2. K across.
Pattern:
CO 42 Stitches
Knit 5 rows in Chinese wave stitch
Knit 5 st in Chinese wave stitch, *sl1, k1* rep from * until 5 sts left, then work in Chinese wave stitch.
K5 st in Chinese Wave Stitches, purl across, K5 in Chinese Wave Stitch.
k5 rows in Chinese wave stitch.
That's all! YAY! It didn't take terribly long and I thought it was really soothing. <3

Birthday Cables
So I knit this a long time ago, according to ravelry, I worked on it from August 5 to September 9 of 2009. So it's been over a year. I'm not really good about updating the blog about these things, and I've been thinking about starting a new blog since, but I have enough stuff from this one that I don't want to get rid of it yet.
The original pattern is by Mary K Saunders and is called "Ms. Brend." The original blog post disappeared, but if you want the pattern, let me know. I worked on these fingerless mittens and made a few alterations to the chart and the finger sizes. The original fingers were huge, and Princess's fingers were not huge. I think I changed the cable a bit, I can't remember how, though. But I do remember that the chart was really hard to follow and the gauge was as bit tight. Even though the pattern was fiddly, and the whole project was kind of a pain in the ass, I ended up falling in love with them. When the time came, I couldn't really bring myself to give them away. If I didn't promise them to her already, I would have totally kept them for myself.
I had some problems getting the fingers to go on seamlessly. I kept getting these gaps, and I think next time I'll knit them on smaller needles or knit through the back loops or something. I knit these on US 2 (2.75 mm) with Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport - A Bit of blue (030).
