Yesterday after my MoRH(tm Brenda Dayne) I bought yarn, nothing like a little retail therapy. I needed some red cotton for the mid-May dishcloth for the Monthly Dishcloth Along. I hit Fred Meyer because they had a buy two get one free deal and they carry Lion Cotton, I picked up three balls, but no red. BTW, Fred Meyer carries a few colors of Lion Wool.ÂÂ
Still in search of red I headed over to JoAnn, where I went a little cotton crazy. I had stopped at Costco on my way to the Knit-in (sigh) and picked up Mason*Dixon Knitting and Inspired Cable Knits, while looking thru them I found that quite a few of the projects in Mason*Dixon were knit with kitchen cotton. I especially like the little baby kimono. So, I did a little stocking up on kitchen cotton, including some red, just in case, I also picked up a couple of patterns so I can get a start on my summer sewing for Daughter, Color-splash Dishcloths by Evelyn A. Clark and a piece of muslin for a doll.
When I got home I cast on for the Dishcloth Along and then finished it up today.

Cool pattern! You’ve convinced me to sign-up. Thanks for the link!
That’s a very, very cool dishcloth - love the message.
Hi - Am I reading your blog correctly, that you purchased those knitting books at Costco? [it’s late and I might be misreading it….hopefully not.] If yes, which Costco? (I’m in Seattle.) Thank you- Jill
