It's a nice day for a white dishcloth...

I'll be singing Billy Idol all afternoon now. :o)

Last night, I multitasked TV, knitting and exercise by sitting on my balance ball while knitting watching Dark Shadows. I did crunches, and a lot of rolling. Wow, do the ab and leg muscles ache today! But I did get a lot done on the dishcloths for my Mum.



I've made some dishcloths for her before, but she's had a hard time using them. When I follow 'standard'-sized dishcloth patterns using cotton dishcloth yarn, the dishcloth is large and, when wet, it's hard for her to use with her arthritis. So, she asked me that when I make her any, to make them no larger than her hand, which is why they look very small.

The one on the left, I made a little while ago, but the two on the right I made last night. They're about 4" X 8". I also started a larger one for our kitchen. Since DH has large hands, I figured he could handle the larger dishcloth. (Always looking out for you, Honey!)

Have any of you out there in Blogland heard of or watched Dark Shadows? It's a US soap that ran from the late 60's through early 70's. The story takes place in a coastal New England town with a large manor, Collinwood, as the central location. A distant Collins relative from England (who is actually a vampire), Barnabus Collins, arrives and takes up residence in the smaller home on the Collinwood estate grounds. All kinds of mayhem ensues. I guess the reputation of this series is that both the script and story lines are really, really bad. (Think B movie!) I guess that's it's charm that makes us keep watching. (Oh just think if Joel, Crow and Tom Servo got ahold of some episodes!) Keeping true to MST3K, that's pretty much what we do! We watched all 10 episodes last night and are impatiently waiting for the next 10...
