FO Friday :)

I've mentioned in the last week that I have some FOs to show off...and I do :) They're going to all kind of look the same but I promise that they're all different, though they use the same yarn!

Anyway, onward to FO Friday!


Pattern: Woven Rib Dishcloth
Time Frame: started August 25, 2012; finished August 26, 2012
Yarn: Unknown cotton, probably Peaches & Creme Ombres
Needles: US #7/4.5mm
Size: One size
Modifications: None. It's my pattern...but when I write the pattern, I'm going to add a proper border on the sides as there really isn't one in the prototype.

Pattern: Alternate Andalusian Dishcloth
Time Frame: started August 29, 2012; finished August 29, 2012
Yarn: Unknown cotton, probably Peaches & Creme Ombres
Needles: US #7/4.5mm
Size: One size
Modifications: None. It's my pattern. I think when I write it up, I'm going to add another repeat of the pattern into it to make it a little more square. It's a little too rectangular for me...I like my dishcloths to be square.

Pattern: Little Granite Dishcloth
Time Frame: started August 27, 2012; finished August 28, 2012
Yarn: Unknown cotton, probably Peaches & Creme Ombres
Needles: US #7/4.5mm
Size: One Size
Modifications: None. It's my pattern. I think I'm even going to leave this one alone when I write it...


I'm working on a fourth one right now that I should be able to show you next week...I hope. I have other things I should be working on, too, but I'm in a pseudo-designing mood.




In "life" news, Puppy is a much calmer dog since we had him fixed last weekend. I mean, he's still a puppy and still plays but he's not nearly as neurotic as he used to be. He even thinks he's a lap dog which makes Little Man insanely jealous. He wanted to sit with Husband last night because Puppy was sitting with him. It was rather amusing.

Tomorrow we're headed down to San Mateo to look at houses. There are a couple we've seen online and we're going to go look at one of them. It's not as large as we'd like but the price is right. Unfortunately, until one of our houses in Wisconsin sells, we're going to be living a pipe dream because it would be totally irresponsible to put an offer in on a house without any money for a down payment. In fact, doing that would be bordering on completely insanity. But, we're going to look any way. We could put an offer down with the contingency that one of our properties needs to sell before we'll "officially" buy it. But, we'll see. That may not even be possible.

Anyway, I hope you're all having a lovely Friday :) For more FO Friday fun, visit Tami!
