The Dish Rag Queen is, of course, Theresa! She has an astonishing 36 hand made dish cloths in her kitchen. Evidence of 32 of them can be found here. Goodies will be on the way from Darlene directly!

I have finally collected all of my mail from last week. Thanks to a package from Abigail, I am ready to pack up the Dish Rag Tag boxes! Can you believe the start date is almost here? Team Captains, count yourself lucky if you receive one of these marvelous creations!

Beautiful stitching and the garter grafting is undetectable!

Abigail, I will never be able to thank you enough for all of this (and for the sock patterns and dish rag to keep for my very own and all the other goodies – as if a stack of dish rags wasn’t more than enough). She’s actually in the middle of a big move right now, but her internet capabilities should return shortly!

The first installment of the RubySapphire Sock Club also arrived! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the pattern, sheepy notepad, delicious yarn (self-striping) and matching stitch markers. The yarn is their Treadsoft Sock Yarn which is 100% Merino and has a look and feel similar to Supersock – it’s very soft to the touch and probably a dream to work with.

I am really looking forward to the next installment!

I also received the yarn for the second of the two patterns I am working on for the upcoming months. It is a delicious blend of greens with a touch of yellow that makes me think of Christmas trees.

Mamie seems to like it.

But, they don’t need that pattern for a few more months. I am going to take a tiny break from sock knitting. Just a tiny one.
