AuburnChick's Adventures

The last time I went to visit Chicky, I gave myself treat:  a break from lesson planning.  I needed the day and a half to simply “be.”

So, I took a skein of yarn, a crochet hook, and a simple pattern book and got to work.

First of all, I did not make a typo.  I did mean to say “crochet.”

I had just overseen a divorce proceeding…unmarrying the yarn I had chosen from the pattern I’d paired it with.  Just like people, some knitting notions are not meant to be together.

So, I was in need of a quick project.

When you combine that need with very little time and a dog who has chewed up almost every dish rag I own, my pattern choice was easy.

I selected the Simple Crochet Dish Cloth…

While the Mr. drove us ever closer toward my baby, I crocheted and frogged…crocheted and frogged.  Finally, though, I got the hang of it (these were single crochet stitches all the way through).

By the time I got to Chicky’s school, I had completed one third of the cloth…

I had to put away the project, though, because we got busy watching the game and cheering on the girls.

I resumed working on it the next day, during the ride home, and finished it within a very short time.

I am so happy with the finished product!

The texture of this cloth is PERFECT for washing dishes!!  I used one entire skein of Sugar n Creme (Pastel Delight).

The quick project lifted my spirits and my intense need for a project fix.  I can’t wait to make more of these…whenever I have time again!
