I finished my first entrelac dishcloth! Yay. Lighting totally sucks in my room right now, so pics in the morning I suppose. And I have to locate that darn camera still.. hmmm...
I'm pretty pleased with this. And it was such a quick knit! I'm amazed I finished it within a day.. lol
I started it last night while I was out with my friends. Me and Vinny waited in the van while Takarra ran inside to change. Since the yarn and needles were in my bag (of course!) my hands were itching for something to do so out comes the yarn and away I knit. Karra's sister comes out to say hi and she peeks in.
"What the heck are you doing? She peers in and get a closer look? "Are you playing with string?!"
"Why yes, yes I am. I'm like a cat. I love string."
Somewhat confused stare. "huh?"
"I'm just kidding.. really. I'm knitting."
"Huh? Ok whatever" Gives me a funny look and trots off back into the house.
Karra comes out a few mins later and gets back in the vehicle. She looks over at me. "Oh geez. Are you knitting?"
"Yes ma'am I am"
"Whatcha makin'?"
"A dishcloth"
Pause... "Why?"
"Well.. I dunno.. Why not?"
"Well, why would you make a dishcloth? You can't use it!"
"uh.. why?"
"Duh. It'll get all dirty and gross if you wash dishes with it! Then you'll have to throw it away in a couple of months."
"So what? I'll make another one."
"But that's a waste!"
"No it's not. That's it's purpose! It's SUPPOSED to get used. You wouldn't knit a sweater just to let it hang in the closet and not get worn, would you? Well, I wouln''t knit a dishcloth just to stare at it."
Pause. "Riiiight"
I think I just need to teach her to knit. Or I just need some craftin' knittin' firends... then they wouldn't look at me like I was crazy.. lol Or maybe they would, I dunno. I am a little weird at times. XD
