I love the little bows!! I can’t wait to see the model. I bet she loves it! Has she seen it in progress?
She saw it once, just after I started the waistband part - she’s really petite, and I wanted to make sure that all the correct bits were covered- but she hasn’t seen it since… I’m excited, I’m going to give it to her tomorrow… I have 7 (!!) other nieces, and 1 (maybe 2) more on the way… Good thing these knit up so quick :XX: :XX: :XX:
Ok, here she is! Her mommy very kindly gave me permission to post her…
Unfortunately, the pic turned out a little blurry - I still had the camera set for taking close-ups :doh:
I also gave her that little purse - it was an experiment in double knitting that went horribly awry, so I turned it into a bag. She immediately shoved her doll into it, so I assume she liked it 
BTW, where are the other July projects??? I feel like the Lone Ranger here…
Adorable! 
Oh, that turned out so nice!!! What a cute model! 
VERRRRY cute!
Oh I love it!!! I’ll bet Amy would love to post your pattern (If you wouldlove to share it!!)
Well thanks! :oops: I was actually thinking about doing that, giving a bit back to our wonderful Amy… I’ve been trying to write it up, but apparently I’m as good at writing patterns as I am at reading them :??
But you’re changing the subject here… :fingerwag: where’s your adorable dolphin washcloth? You said you had three rows done…
uhhh… yeah…
i could post a pic of my 3 rows if you really want to see… :oops:
:roflhard: OK, you don’t have to…
So anyway, after much brainbusting and trying to recover my rather rusty math skills, I have a 1st draft pattern for the top, and I’m going to post for test knitters on the General forum before I see if Amy wants it. I tried to adjust for 2 different sizes, my guinea pigs - er, I mean, test knitters - get to see if the sizes actually work or not (Dcup is still in development- sorry)…So here goes!!
[size=2]Boy my brain hurts…[/size]
I joined the July KAL in August. I liked the pattern Hildie picked for her dolphin washcloth ( thanks for the link, Hildie), but I wanted to knit potholders :?? - so - I used the landlubber version, and adjusted the pattern so there wasn’t so much “white space” around the dolphin, knitted two small clothes, the second with the dolphin jumping the other way, did about three inches of icord on the bind off row of the second cloth, then did single crochet all the way around to join them together. I ended up with a reversible double thick potholder about 7.5 inches square with a hanging loop at the top corner.
It came out great, if I do say so myself. :cheering:
I ended up making 2 potholders and the full version with the waves as a dishcloth and gave them to the woman whose beach house I rent every summer. She loved them, and had done some redecorating this year with a dolphin theme, so they fit right in! :happydance:
I just got back from the beach yesterday, so I have a lot of KH to catch up on, but I wanted to share this - my first KAL. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the FOs, but I got the Sugar N Cream yarn on sale for 1.29 so it was a great inexpensive hostess gift, and really fast too!
I had a great time, found a fun LYS, bought some new patterns, did some fun knitting, and a really great jigsaw puzzle entitled “KNITTING STASH”.
I really missed KH though so its good to be back!
Mary
Welcome Back!!! :cheering:
It’s nice to see someone joining in, better lae than never - which reminds me, Hilde… haven’t seen yours yet…
