To Block Or Not To Block?

I never thought I would block a dishcloth. Why bother, right? It's just going to get wet and wash dishes, wipe counters, clean up spills, etc. But when I was finished the September mid-month Dishcloth KAL, it was so lumpy! It looked like large bubble wrap on the back. I tried to get a picture of it, but you couldn't see how mogul-looking it was.

So I blocked it - sort of. I just wet it and shaped it (no pins) and let it dry. Gigantic improvement! Here it is in all its blocked glory -



Haven't blogged much lately, but have been knitting. Have also been taking some knitting / crochet classes, and have been knitting and crocheting. Will be posting pics of FOs very soon. Just need to take some pictures.

Ballband Minis

More ballbands.



These are mini ballbands. A good family friend was visiting one night before heading back to college and saw me knitting a ballband for one of my daughters. He loved it, and wanted me to knit him a smaller version to use as a coaster. But he wanted a large coaster. I knit the smaller one, but I think he wants something larger, so I knit the larger one. I'll send him both.
