First of all, I would like to greet all of you with Happy New Year 2009.
This year I decided to practice my knit again. If it wasn’t because I wanted to learn how to knit, I don’t think I will find my passion in crocheting. The reason I learn to knit again is because each time I see knit wearable patterns I always want to be able to make it. It just I’m not patient enough to deal with drop stitches and when there’s a miscount in pattern, it’s harder to undo the mistake compared to crochet.
Anyway, before new year, we moved to the new unit and I need more dishcloths, coasters and hot pad. So, this is a good reason to try to make them (knit or crochet).
I chose the smock dishcloth pattern since it only need knit and purl and a little bit slip knit to make the smock. It took me 3 days to finish this dishcloth 🙁 . I must be very slow in knitting. I was lucky there was no drop stitches while I was making this dishcloth.
In the middle of making the knit dishcloth, I had 1 daisy square from krochet krystal that was almost finish, so I continued it a little bit and decided to use it as dishcloth also.
Tired of knitting, I made something in crochet again. I chose flower hot pad pattern, and I used the same maroon yarn that I used on smock dishcloth. The flower hot pad is very easy and I finished it only in a few hours. My speed in crochet is way faster than knit, but I will not give up to knit again.
Anyway, I almost forget that I made 2 flower coasters on December last year. The coaster pattern was also very simple and easy to make.
If you are interested with the patterns of things that I’ve made here, they are all free. Just click the name of the pattern above.
