Friday Photo and FO

Today started and ended cool and gray on the island where I started and ended it. In between while I ran around Seattle for errands and Pilates lessons it turned that not-quite-bright, not-quite-warm, a little breezy Spring weather we sometimes get.

And as is often true here in these transitional seasons, someone ten or twenty miles away probably had a different day.

While riding ferries and buses and then during taped episodes of Jane Austin and Numb3rs, I started and finished a washcloth. Except for blocking and despite ripping out the first third to go down three needle sizes from the manufacturer's suggestion rather than only one, I finished it in one day. No wonder people get hooked on these.

Though I was having second thoughts about the wonders of a one day project as the end of my skein got too close for comfort during my last few rows. I almost had to decide between ripping it all and reknitting with a few fewer stitches from somewhere or tomorrow buying another skein for a couple rows.

Or the next time I saw Ryan saying "Washcloth? You didn't get my washcloth?"

I think I'll do another one tomorrow. I did buy two skeins of yarn and mailing off one seems a bit of a waste.

It's like you can have your own personalized weather! Sounds pretty nice for running around in, though. Not too warm, not too chilly.

And quick projects are *so* addictive. I haven't been converted to the washcloth side of the Force, but I'm a longtime mitten knitter. And I've found that knitting blocks offers some of the same benefits. (Okay, there's sewing later. But that's then, this is now.)

I have a friend that makes them, too. What yarn did you use?
