Smaller Things

With our temperatures rapidly climbing and the weather turing unusually hot for this time of the year, I have quite lost the will to work on my cardigan. Instead, I did reorganisation of my yarn stash and decided to knit up some cotton yarns to free up some space. Two potholders and two dischcloths later, I had managed to use an equivalent of only two balls of yarn.

The potholders are crocheted while the dishcloths are knit.

Anyway, the potholders are pretty awesome and performing very well in the kitchen. The dishcloths have not been used as of now, but I can foresee their use in the near future.

I am already looking for some other small knitting or crochet project. Any ideas? 

Quick, Practical and Useful(?)

I seem to run out of the commercial sponge cloths and scrubs fairly quickly, so I had been wanting to try out some knitted one. So I knitted up this set yesterday.

I don't know the exact names for them. The larger one (washcloth/dishcloth/whatever) is intended for wiping the kitchen counters etc. The smaller one is a doubled up st st piece with purl side out, intended for washing the dishes. I used Peaches and Creme (and nylon thread for the second one). I will try them out in the morning, inshaAllah.

We also had a little celebration as my "not-so-little" son turned five yesterday, mashaAllah.
