Changes Made and Links Added

Posted on October 30, 2006 | 1 comment

I have made several additions and changes to this blog in the past few days. The most significant change is that some patterns are now listed on more than one page:

 

  1. The Star Cloth is listed on the Knit Cloth page and the Holiday page.
  2. The Darrell Waltrip Cloth is listed on the Knit Cloth page and the Slip Stitch page.

My goal is to make it easier find patterns. You will find that this will be done especially with Holiday patterns. Right now my choices are based on what seems right at the moment.

There have been more links added to most pages. The Side Bar Section called Favorite Blogs and Web Sites has more sites listed. These are there for your reading pleasure.

Enjoy!

Links and Life

Posted on October 26, 2006 | 3 comments

Life and links on this blog are an interesting combination at times. This week they are especially unique because it is the week of the Baseball World Series and the St. Louis Cardinals Team is one of the contenders. I have been an avid Cardinal fan since the early 1960’s, having grown up listening to Jack Buck of KMOX Radio announcing the games. The rest of my family also enjoys them as well. Our evening meals this week have been quick and easy to allow us time to be done eating before the ball game. Most evenings there is time to work on this blog while my family watches programs that are not my to my liking. Even I can be found watching it this week during the ball game.

In this house, good baseball is good baseball regardless of who plays, wins or loses. If the Cardinals win, so much the better!

In addition to the World Series, my favorite Web Browser Firefox came  out with a major update this week. Some of my computer time was spent setting up the browser to meet my wants and needs. The process was simple enough, but I kept getting side tracked trying it out and adding options to personalize it . It was fun to do. 🙂

In the meantime I am trying to keep this blog updated in between doing my assortment of Mom duties, taking time for email, knitting, crocheting, and living. Links have been added to the Towels, Holiday, Mop Covers and Knit Cloth sections. I will do more as time allows.

Decisions

Posted on September 27, 2006 | Leave a comment

In the past few days there have been several items added to this site. I am making changes in the way I am classifying items. There are now categories for towels, both knitted and crocheted. I am not specifiying if they are hand or kitchen towels. That decision is left to the user of the pattern.

I am also not separating face and dish cloths. For this site, at this time, it is not feasible to do. If this offends anyone, please accept my apologies in advance.

I will eventually be adding some items for specific holidays. If you know of patterns for holidays that are not included, please let me know. I will not intentionally omit a holiday based on creed, religion or ethnic background. My goal is for this site to be a service for those of us who enjoy making hand made cloths and other items.
I have also been faced with the decision of whether or not to shorten the name a designer has given a pattern. There are times this seems to be needed in order to conserve space. If you are a designer and have been offended by my actions, please let me know. I do not mean to over ride your choice of name for your pattern. My motivation is simply to conserve space.

More Pattern Links Added

Posted on August 27, 2006 | Leave a comment

I have added a few more pattern links today. It took a while because I have learned the hard way to double check to make sure the URL’s have been added correctly. I know from my own experience how frustrating it can be to go to a site and find a dead link.

So far I have concentrated on knitting links. In the next few weeks I will work on adding some crocheted and Tunisian stitch links.

If you are looking for a specific pattern and don’t find it here, please let me know and I will help you find it.

Adding Links

Posted on August 24, 2006 | Leave a comment

I have been adding a few links this evening. There are some I would like to share with readers to this site.

The first one is the Swish With A Twist pattern at the Creative Knitting site. It is not known how long this will be available online. It looks like a pattern worth trying out in my opinion.

This blog :Things Stitched has two patterns that have caught my eye. One is the Sunny Days Dishcloth and the other is the Motorcycle Dishcloth. The author also has two examples of what to do with left over cotton yarn.

There are more to come, but they need to wait for another day.

I spent more time adding links to the side bar this morning. Whew!!! I could have spent all day doing this, but for some strange reason life got in the way.

I checked out the Bookmarks section on my browser and found plenty of places marked that are related to dish and wash cloths. I also used a search engine to locate some sites with more links to post. WOW!!! I knew at the start of this project that there are a lot of free patterns out there, but I am becoming increasingly amazed that the number of them I am finding.

My goal is to get as much done on this in the next two weeks as possible. It seems I have bitten off a bit more than I realized. That’s all right. I tend to do that anyway. 🙂 Maybe there will be more time later this evening to work on it some more.
