The cotton yarn at the top is nice too, I've used one very similar to that, and I think it was made by the same brand. It had a shade of purple in it though.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315429169041252089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-76048299330313291572011-07-14T00:55:21.572-04:002011-07-14T00:55:21.572-04:00Awesome idea for the dishcloth a month thing!

I also enjoy and need the encouragement for some of these project. Marsha...you hit the jackpot cotton for 1.00! It doesn't go on sale much compared to other fibers around here and when it does it seems to only be discounted 20-30 cents a skein, so you did well.

I'm not sure I've made a pastel blanket, except when specifically requested. I like color.<br /><br />Hope you're right Sandie, that as I continue it will go faster, those are some long seams. Found it worked better laid on the dining room table instead of my lap, which is typically how I work.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-51326389695172016192011-07-13T08:21:21.863-04:002011-07-13T08:21:21.863-04:00The few times I've used mattress stitch I have...The few times I've used mattress stitch I have found it to take a little more concentration than simple whipstitch. It just depends on what I'm doing whether seeing the stitches is acceptable or not. Sometimes they can make a nice addition to the project. I think as you get going it may go faster. Glad you like the look!
