Dishcloths and IKEA
Right now I’m on a dishcloth knitting kick. Why? Because they’re small enough that I can whip one off in about an hour or two. We’ve been knee-deep in the Rec Room Renovation this week, so I’ve been only been able to do a couple of repeats of the pattern on the leg of my Monkeys during lunch hours at work.
We’ll have to post pictures of the “After” once we’ve got everything done here. I didn’t take any photos of the “Before”, because frankly…the basement was too disgusting for words. To me, at least. We had two full-sized sofas down here, plus a washer/spin dryer, my domed steamer trunk, big L-shaped desk that the both of us used for our gaming space…a bookshelf full of console gaming stuff…you name it, it was crammed in here. Right now, we have one loveseat in here, a lazyboy, two computer workstations, and the TV stuff. The L-shaped desk is still here, waiting to be torn down. I can probably do that on my own, but I’m a little scared to…it’s basically holding itself together through its own weight.
I kid you not.
So while I’m taking time off from cleaning, I sit down and knit a dishcloth. Not necessarily for washing dishes, really, but for slurpie-cup coasters. Cotton makes a great coaster for a slurpee cup. When moisture condensates on the outside & starts to melt…the cotton just soaks it all up. Whee!
So yeah. Not only fun to knit, but also useful down here in the place where I’m knitting.
