Joined a New Group

I just had to say that I joined a new yahoo group. It’s the Monthly Dishcloths group. I found it on someone’s blog. The premise of the group is that there are two dishcloth patterns given out a month on the first and sixteenth. Over the course of seven days from the start date you receive a portion of the pattern. That way over a week you get to see the design unfold before your eyes.

I love that idea. They say the first is a theme for the month best done in a solid color. The second dishcloth of the month is a themed repeatable pattern you can opt to do in a variegated yarn. I’m very excited. I need to go out and buy a ton of cotton yarn to make dishcloths.

I think I’ll be more interested in the second cloth of the month more so than the first. This is mainly due to the fact that I’m not big on the positive-negative style of knitting being done for the first one. I’d be more tempted to give those away as presents and keep the all over repeat for myself.

Damn it, I’m already starting to think about Yuletide gifts already! I know for sure I need to come up with gifts for two people: “My Giant” and “The Hobbit.” I hate this time of year; it’s all one big whirlwind affair. And it goes by so quickly in the blink of an eye. I’m already dreading the madness. More so the cold that comes along with this time of year.

Well I’ll get back to you guys later. Cheers mates!
