OddBall Baby Blankets and October Cotton Cloth (YOP)

YOP #6 FO Friday Post HERE

October Cloth in the worksWow, here it is, another Sunday and time for another update of YOP (year of projects). Have highlighted in red with links to posts of the finished objects to date. Had plan this week to focus on above cotton wash cloth, part of the Cotton Cloth Calendar Challenge (this is #7), and Pink Poodle. Instead I focused on the 2nd OddBall Baby Blanket that arrive, Cinco de Mayo. And the start of the new OddBall Baby Blanket which will be cast on today, now that I've selected the yarn and name of the blanket. It will be titled Pretty in Pink.

Will be heading to the post office to get both Oddballs in the mail, and The wedding ghan in the mail, hopefully tomorrow before work.

  1. I like the unusual colours in your oddball baby blanket...I suppose the name gives it away he he.

    Although another person with a busy list, I am wondering if I am not giving myself enough of a challenge

    I love watching you progress through your list. I'm sure you will make short thorough work of learning socks and cables, when the time is right. Good luck with those oddball blankets!

  3. Very appropriate colours for an October dishcloth! Makes me hungry for candy kisses (those hard toffee things)!

  7. Great progress on your list.
    If you ever try socks, try Susan B. Anderson's Jelly Bean sock pattern. Small and helpful to the "t".

  13. After finishing a big project a cotton cloth is always a welcomed change of pace :)

  14. Thanks Deb and hakucho, I think it looks like candy corn also. It is nice to have something small to clear the head after a large or tedious project.
