Lacy Washcloth




This is a washcloth that I made from a blue and white cotton yarn. I found the pattern for it in a little knitting booklet thing called Knit Dishcloth Sampler. It took me a few weeks to finish it. As you can probably tell, I'm not the fastest of knitters. The cables were really fun to do and I love how they came out.

The only problem is that after I first washed it, it became this ugly super wide short thingy. It isn't as pretty as it used to be now, but oh well. I mean it's only a washcloth, right?

A Scarf For My Twin Sister




This is another scarf I have made from fun fur yarn. I made it for my sister Maddie. It took me so long to finish it because I kept picking it up for a few minutes and then I'd put it back down. I finally got so annoyed with it that I didn't stop knitting until it was done.

Crocheted Washcloth





I learned how to crochet! My mom taught me a little while ago. When I first started I really stank, but now I'm a little better. All you do is use a cotton yarn and do single crochet stitch. I love the colors of the yarn. It's so pretty. I just got some other cotton yarn from my mom that's like a brightish green, light blue, and a dark blue. It's really pretty too. I made a little scarf for one of my many stuffed animals out of it a little while ago. I'm thinking of posting a picture of it soon. I might make a washcloth out of that yarn too.

A Fluffy Scarf For My Aunt




I made this scarf for my Aunt Cindy, my mom's sister. I love the colors in it. She really likes fall colors so I thought I would use a yarn like this. I made it out of fun fur. I think it was sixteen stitches long. My aunt has worn it so much the ends of the yarn that I weaved in are starting to come out! At least that means she likes it.

Dog Poncho

Here is a little poncho that I made for my stuffed animal dog Muffin. It was really fun to make, and easy too. If the stuffed animal you are making it for is smaller, don't cast on as many stiches, don't knit the rectangle as long as you would, or use a thinner yarn. If the stuffed animal is bigger, then do the opposite.


To make the poncho you should use some bulky wool yarn on about a US 10 needle. All you do is cast on 20 stitches. Then, knit in garter stitch until the rectangle is about 11 inches long. Then you cast off.

Next, weave in the ends. Fold the long side over about 1 1/4 inches. Then, sew it together just like that.

Hi Howdy Ho

Hi! Isn't this so cool! I'm only nine and I have a blog! My kind and smart mother just set me up with one. She has a blog too. My twin sister wants to have one too but not until she is ten.

I have no idea how many projects I have finished so far. There are way too many projects I have to finnish! I have at least 8-12. Luckly, my mom bought a yarn cubby a little while ago. She has 4 of the 6 cubby holes. My sister and I both have one too.
