Scarf in Therapi - Therapeutic Therapy

I made this scarf to avoid doing lace and I really wanted to use this yarn for a spring item.

Here goes: 

2 skeins of Therapi from SWTC

5.5 mm needles

Stitch pattern is a multiple of 6 and I think I used a 4 stitch border on each side. If I remember correctly  I used 26 stitches total.

Row 1 = *Wyb sl 1, k2, psso, k3*

Row 2 = *P4, yo, p1*

Row 3 =  *K3, wyb sl1, k2, psso*

Row 4 = *P1, yo, p4*

P = purl

K = knit

Wyb = with yarn in back (knit position)

Yo = yarn over

Sl 1 = slip one

Psso = pass the slip stich over (in this case, over the two k2 done right after)

Cast on 26 stitches

Knit 4 rows of garter stitches or a border stitch of your choice

Start pattern but don't forget your 4 border stitches at the beginning and the end of your piece of knitting and knit as long as you like, finish with 4 rows of your choosen border and cast off.

Tidy, block and enjoy.

La tour Eiffel

Just a little dishcloth on a landmark theme.

One skein of Bernat Handicrafter and 4,5 mm needles.

Cast on 46 stitches (or a multiple of 8 stitches + 6 stitches for the border)

K = knit

P = purl

B = border stitches

P2t = purl 2 together

Yo = yarn over

Knit 4 rows or a chosen border and then begin the pattern:

Row 1: B3, *yo, p2t, p6* repeat until 3 stitches left and b3
Rows 2, 4, 6: B3, *k7, p1* repeat until 3 stitches left and b3
Rows 3, 5, 7: B3, *k1, p7* repeat until 3 stitches left and b3
Rows 8 and 16: b3, p all, b3
Row 9: B3, *p4, yo, p2t, p2* repeat until 3 stitches left and b3
Rows 10, 12, 14: B3, *k3, p1, k4* repeat until 3 stitches left and b3
Rows 11, 13, 15: B3, *p4, k1, p3

I did 3 repeat of the pattern but you can do one more for a squarer cloth. (It tend to be rectangular after a wash)

Finish with 4 rows in knit or a chosen border, tidy up and get that soap and in the shower you go with a gorgeous french, olive oil soap.

Ma Bibitte

I made my little "bibittes à patates"  (ladybug) with my "dishcloth weekly kal" from Ravelry. I never followed a "knit along" before but I have to admit, I really like it for some unknown reason.  I also tough that dishcloth knitting was like doilies knitting: granny-ish. My granny use to crochet the most horrid things including a crochet dress for me to wear for my sister's wedding (in the '70's), in Pentex Yarn if you please. But those people at Ravelry changed my mind completely. And they're so nice, it's unbelievable. 

Now, for those unfamiliar with Phentex, what can I say. Take the roughest acrylic, plasticky yarn and you have it. it even feel greasy but a lot of people make slippers out of them which are pretty well padded but you end up with clammy feet after a while.

I have a few balls and I think it would be good to make tawashi with them. Keep you posted.

My conclusion: I can't wait to make more of those dishcloths.
