mio Look what arrived!
It was full of happiness:
See that yellow-ish yarn peeking through on the left side of the box? I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with that yarn… it was cheap, and I like self-striping yarn, and I got 10 balls of it, just in case. (I also got 10 balls of a pink-and-white striping yarn of the same type).
Then it hit me, when I was almost finished that green-and-cream dishcloth from the last post: this yarn would look fantastic in the swirly-hexagon motif!
So, I started the dishcloth pattern again, but with 30ch to begin (instead of 15 for the dishcloths). I did try 15 sts originally, but I found that each wedge was *almost* a single colour, and that wouldn’t really look nice, in my opinion, so I decided to go big.
Here is the result, pinned out (colours a bit off) :
Here’s a close-up, it’s a bit fuzzy, but the colour is more accurate:
And it’s quite drapey!
(Yarn is Bella DK Tapestry, using a 6mm hook)
This might end up being a Christmas present, too… we’ll see!

OMG I’m hyperventilating at how amazing that box of yarn is!
haha, you are such a goof! “I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but I got 10 balls!”
Love the dishcloth, it’s great!
I can’t be the only one who does this! The thought process went something like, “It’s on sale! For really cheap! I’ve never used it before, but the colours are nice… better get 10 balls, just in case!” Now I can make anything I want out of it (which, of course, paralized me for a while… got to make the *right* thing, right?).
The question is, do I make the same thing out of the 10 balls of pink/white, or something different? lol
Where was the order from? Webs? Smileys?
That order was from Herrchners.ca
I’ve blown through most of that yarn by now, I think… might be time for a new order!
