Three dishcloths and a scarf that I made.
I made the scarf for myself but my son won't give it back.

Wow you have been busy. How do you have time to answer my messages. LOL! :thumbup:

Great clothes. All the colors are great and the heart is just right for a little Valentine. The scarf is great... hoe you van reclaim it.... Is that the sequin yarn? Is that the one that is not colorfast? I can't imagine the cotton being runny. In any case, a soak in water with a little vinegar will set the color. I through in a little salt as well. Red is almost guaranteed to run.... Keep doing this till there is no red when pressed with a white paper towel. then rinse well.....

Woo good tip Dreamweaver. Thank you.

No the scarf isn't sequin. It has little specks of yarn throughout it. My son calls it his pretty. The red, white, and blue dishcloth ran. Thanks for the tip.

Your stitches are so very even. You did a nice job, I especially like your valentine dishcloth.

Hi, Dreamweaver! Thanks for hints on setting colors. I just started knitting washcloths. And being a novice I hadn't thought about an additional step of setting colors. I will be sure to do that before the intended gifting. lol

Hi! What a nice job you have done. I have just started making washcloths too. But, mine are quite as nice as yours. Good job!

 

[MissAppleBlossom]

Thank you grandmann and stitchcounter

very nice knitting! Could you tell me where to get the heart pattern. I just love it! Thanks.

Dreamweaver, do you use hot or cold water to set the colors with the vinegar? Thank you for your reply.

Very nice work!!! I make the dishcloths also and have found that the red's and dark greens bleed more than the other colors. Thanks for the tip on color setting, I will do this before I gift for sure! Love the scarf, my roomie had me make her a Barbie blanket out of the sequin yarn, she collects Barbies and stages them when friends are coming over, they have such fun reliving childhood memories!!

Thanks for the tip. Most of my colors in dish cloths run. I have never known how to fix it.

I love the dishcloths, especially the heart one. Just in time for valentines day.
