Baby's T is for Turtle Washcloth

Well I am once again packing. This time they say for 7 weeks, but it always seem to run over. I have to pack an entire suitcase of yarns, patterns, hooks along with hard hats, steel toed boots and band-aids. Since we will be at the site for at least 12 hours a day, most of my crocheting and knitting are on the drive out and back. I don't even know how many miles it is to California..............


Baby's T is for Turtle Washcloth


This is my design for a small washcloth for baby, it blocked to a 7 inch square. It has the letter T on it but you can easily leave that part off. I gave it a tickle eye, just double knot a piece of worsted cotton (I used Dark Brown) leave a tail. Thread a tapestry needle and pull the knot through the washcloth where you want the eye. Make sure you go through the yarn and not a hole. Once through, tie another not as close to the fabric as you can, repeat. Now cut both sides to just barely above the knot ( aka the tickle part).

    Hope you have a safe trip.

    Re: the little clothespin dress...
    no your not getting older....you are remembering a more simple time
    in your life, as am I....that is what I am striving for...simplicity
    in a complicated world.....at some point...backwords can't be too bad a thing....for it brought about a
    special memory for you...it is a good thing...a happier,more simple
    life....

    Hi Barbara,
    Always looking for simpler...I want to move from this huge noisy city, with its 80,000 some people to a small town...so much involved which has to thought about, the kids,jobs,relocating....If money were no object...it would be different...a BIG obstacle...so I have to try to keep it simple where I am for now...but it is an oxymoron... the canning...no horseradish for me....do you process you emu & ostrich, or do you buy it already purchased? Do you live in the US? Have a great day...Faith
