#30makechallenge update.

April 27th 2020

After a rough start I am catching up on my #30makechallenge completing a total of 19 wash cloths in 1 week, all I have to do is weave in the ends. As my stack of wash cloths grows and plans of what colour and scent of soaps and candles to match with the wash cloths,  my thoughts drift to my ever growing gift list and the hardest question to answer is always would they like / use / need that I can buy or make and give to them.

With my will to craft still in hiding the search for this years Christmas make is ongoing. Last year I made hats and cowls for the whole family from Tin Can Knits Anthology Pattern. The Anthology Pattern is a quick and easy knit with loads of colour work options and sizes for all the family.

Washcloths to the rescue.

April 22nd 2020

Way is it every time I set myself a crafting challenge, I lose the will to craft. Since the starting the 30 makes challenge on the 1st of April I haven't touched any of my crafts. That was until I started sorting the stash and found an embarrassingly large collection of Knit Picks Dishie. With so many colours to choose from I find myself collecting skeins every time I get board.

Knowing I can knit a washcloth in about an hour I dived into the stash and started knitting up the Dishie. Using the yarn stash is the same as tidying up right? In one day I managed to knit 5 washcloths kick starting my crafty impulse.

The best part about washcloths is they are so quick to finish. I can cast on dozens of new projects every week without adding to the ever growing mountain of discarded projects.

With a mountain of washcloth growing in the corner of the room, the next challenge is what to do with them all. Last Christmas I paired up the wash cloths with home made soap for the standard toiletry gift with a twist. The gift sets went down really well and I got several requests for more of the same next Christmas and birthdays to.

With so many requests for gift knits I best dive back into the stashand find this years must make gift.

Stay home, Stay Safe And Keep Crafting.
